Daily Life In Dublin During COVID-19
Ifrah Ahmed, a Somali-Irish social activist poses for a pictures inside EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, in Dublin city center. Born into a refugee camp in war-torn Somalia, Ifrah was trafficked to Ireland as a teenager. Recounting her traumatic childhood experiences of Female Genital Mutilation / Cutting (FGM/C) when applying for refugee status, she was again traumatized and decided to devote her life to the eradication of the practice. Ifrah emerged as one of the worlds foremost international activists against Gender Based Violence, after she took her campaign all the way to the President of Ireland and finally to the European Parliament and United Nations. She is the founder of the United Youth of Ireland NGO, the Ifrah Foundation Acts to End FGM and since 2016, she is Gender Advisor to the Prime Minister of Somalia. The Irish-Belgian film 'A Girl from Mogadishu' starring Aja Naomi King and Barkhad Abdi, is based on the testimony of Ifrah Ahmed. On Tuesday, 18 May 2021, in Dublin, Ireland.
