Joy Frempong decided to do a project on female genital mutilation after watching a television programme on the theme, being struck by the fact that the practice is still common in many countries, among them the north of Ghana, where she was born and spent a few years of her life. The drawings presented in the multimedia track (not included in this sample) collected by Dr. Pie Grassivaro-Gallo, Department of General Psychology, University of Padova for a thesis on the psychological impact of infibulation on young ladies, and kindly given to Fabrica especially for this project.
