waris diri :)
in religion we watched a movie about waris diri amd her life :) when she was 3 she got female genitile mutilation :/ in her religion , people beleived that if you did not have this done you were dirty and when a woman was married only the husband cold fix it :O waris diris was sewen up to tightly so she was in great pain :/ she was set to marry a man for cattle but she did not want to do this so she ran away to her aunties house and they sent her on a plane to england to family there. but they abandoned her so she was left to live on the streets for years :O but she made a friend and invited her to live with her :) waris diri then got discovered by a famous photographer and she then became a very famous model :) she was a very pretty woman :) then marie claire wanted to write an article on her called 'the day that changed my life'. but it wasnt about the day she became a model , she told the story about when she was 3 and she got female genitile mutilation :O the world was shocked by her story , she was asked to make a very important speech for all women in the world :) she did everything she could to stop this process in africa :D she got beaten but she never stopped :) now she is a very famous ro model in the world and is still continuing her work today :)

Thanks for the post about the Waris Dirie story Aoife.
ReplyDeleteWas there anything in particular that struck you about her story?
Perhaps you will update your post with a reflection on the film and add a photo of your story board that we did in class?
