During my journey across Sierra Leone I met Josephine and Howa, two HURRARC women rights activists. Hawa fights to protect young girls from female genital mutilation, even after having been threatened. Josephine is involved into the question: she’s a victim.
With this short video I take part to World Nomads 2010 Travel Documentary Scholarship selection.
