Stop The Razor

Stop The Razor is an unflinching documentary that explores the enduring effects of female genital mutilation (FGM) through the eyes of a woman in her 50s living in the UK. As a child, she was deceived by her own grandmother and led to undergo the irreversible procedure, an experience that has profoundly shaped her identity and her sense of womanhood.

Decades later, she shares how the pain, betrayal, and isolation of that day continue to echo in her life. The film sensitively chronicles her struggle to find healing and peace amid the lasting physical and emotional scars. Candidly, she reveals the challenges she faces in intimate relationships, the complex impact on motherhood, and her decision to protect her children from the country where her trauma originated.

Stop The Razor is not just a story of survival; it is a powerful statement on betrayal, resilience, and the courage to confront past trauma. The documentary invites audiences to bear witness to one woman’s unwavering strength and the silent scars left by FGM, seeking to foster understanding, empathy, and change.
