She came to Australia as a refugee at the age of 13 from Sierra Leone, in West Africa. She is now a renowned speaker, human rights activist and compassionate thought leader.
Powerd Media’s reporter Emma Myers asked Khadija Gbla about her own experience of female genital mutilation and living with chronic pain, while actively working to eliminate the practice.
