Church Times: Interview: Christine Alfons, FGM campaigner
“Growing up, it was hard. It was difficult for everything to work out. Finding enough food to eat and getting to school was hard. I can still remember going to school with torn shoes. Now, though, our situation has improved. Now, my little sisters are going to school in smart uniform, and they can’t believe what it was like when I was young.
I am pursuing actuarial science, which focuses on insurance and pensions. It’s not really related to my social passion for ending FGM [Female Genital Mutilation]. It focuses on mathematics and numbers. I really love maths, but this is a way for me to make money in the future, and to support me as I campaign to end FGM.”
