Trolled with Tracy Ann Oberman

Nimco Ali

Tracy-Ann talks to the social activist Nimco Ali, OBE. Co-founder and CEO of The Five Foundation, the global partnership to end female genital mutilation, Nimco talks about her life as an FGM survivor, and how challenging it is in the current echo chambers of social media to not belong to a clear cut political tribe. This has brought her a whole fairly terrifying world of online abuse from both left and right wings, and left her more determined than ever to stand up for what she believes in, and find resolution through conversation.
