A Woman Under Threat
Memoirs of a Sudanese Feminist
by Sara Mansour Ali
Female genital mutilation (FGM), the removal of female genitalia, has been condemned by health professionals and human rights organizations worldwide. Nevertheless, it is continuously practiced, with nearly 90 percent of Sudanese having undergone the ordeal.
Being a victim herself, author Sara Mansour Ali speaks for all the women in the world who have been abused, or mutilated and declares a resounding “NO” to violence as she publishes her book, A Woman Under Threat.
Honest, bold, raw and compelling, A Woman Under Threat is a memoir of a militant writer on Sudanese women’s problem under threat. It is about the author’s life, her protest against the indignities and horrors perpetrated against women, and how she gave women the strength to voice their true feelings. In this controversial book, she tackles issues such as FGM, physical abuse and sexual slavery.
