Life Stories

Hello I’m KANKOUAN Edjibie and I’m 35 years old.
Simply, I wish to reconstruct my organ that was forcibly removed by my parents without my consent, allowing me to enjoy the gift our creators have given us. It will also help to discourage the practice of excision. I think Clitoraid is doing a wonderful job and I thank them for thinking about African women, offering us a hospital as a means to help restore our dignity and wellbeing and educating us about sexual pleasure. I can only support Clitoraid in their battle to see that African woman have a chance to blossom. Good Luck Clitoraid!

My name is KANKOUAN Djeneba.
I am 24 years old, I wish to have clitoral repair surgery because when I have sexual intercourse I often feel pain. During my childbirth I had complications and the midwives had to cut up my vagina to help deliver the child. They told me it was due to the fact that I was excised. This is why I wish to be restored and to stop the old women who still practice as this is against Human Rights. I think that the NPO organization Clitoraid will help many women enjoy their sexuality without fear. I wish you all a lot of courage.
