Female Genital Mutilation is still widely practiced in Tanzania among the Maasai. The procedure, seen as a rite of passage for unmarried women, can lead to trauma and even death.

It's called the Cut Alert Foundation, and Lukumai wants communities to invest in young womens' education rather than preparing them for an early marriage. DW catches up with her!
