The name Wallis Diri may not be familiar to many people now.

But back then, she was famous, the first real black supermodel, the first black female model to appear on the cover of Vogue magazine, and in the 90s, Wallis was definitely the brightest 'black pearl' in the fashion industry. And to this day, no one doubts that Wallis Diri is the most legendary black woman in the world!

Xiao Peng knew that it was Wallis Diri, but he didn't understand the meaning of Kevin's words: "What do you mean? What do you mean that she dares to come here? She is in danger here? Do you know her?"

Kevin nodded: "Of course I know, we met at the AU meeting, and they were all 'ambassadors of peace'." It's just that I'm protecting lions, and she's protecting African girls. Oh, and she also has status at the United Nations, being a United Nations Charity Ambassador. ”

"Protect African girls?" Xiao Peng asked suspiciously.

Kevin nodded, and three words popped out of his mouth: "Anti-circumcision." ”

Xiao Peng took a deep breath, if there were any traditions in this world that Xiao Peng was the most unacceptable, it would definitely be circumcision!

This so-called 'circumcision' exists almost all over the world, and there are two types of circumcision: male circumcision and female circumcision.

Male circumcision is the cutting of bread and skin, and it is recorded in the Bible about circumcision. In the earliest days, circumcision was performed with a stone knife, which shows how long it has been around.

The largest number of men who practise male circumcision are Jews and Muslims. This is recorded in their teachings, indicating that they have become adults out of childhood. Howard, the Jew inside, was teased about this.

Female circumcision, on the other hand, is a cruel tradition that originated in ancient Egypt. It is mainly prevalent in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula and Southeast Asia, such as Indo-III. (Many countries, including Egypt and Germany, have now enacted legislation banning female circumcision, but India III still does not.) ）

The most prevalent area for female circumcision must be Africa. This is a tradition that has been passed down in Africa for more than 4,000 years! Many people here believe that an uncircumcised woman is unclean, and that what exists between a woman's legs is unclean. So be sure to cut it off!

IT IS FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW THAT BEFORE THE AGE OF FOURTEEN, WOMEN MUST HAVE SOME OR ALL OF THEIR EXTERNAL ORGANS (YIN PEDICLE AND LARGE AND SMALL YIN LIPS) REMOVED, AND EVEN SOME PLACES WILL DIRECTLY SEW UP THE YIN TRACT, LEAVING ONLY A SMALL HOLE FOR BLOOD EVERY MONTH. And all this is to prove his loyalty, and on the night of the cave house, the husband cuts it open with a knife or other sharp weapon to round the house.

If a girl is not circumcised, she cannot get married, and she will be expelled from the village and considered equal to the JI woman! There are already 130 million women in the world who have been circumcised, and on average, nearly five out of every 100 women have undergone such torture! This number is increasing by 2 million a year. In backward places, countless women have died from this bad habit, but everyone has long been accustomed to it!

And Wallis Diri, in fact, is one of the victims of circumcision, listening to Kevin's story, Xiao Peng thinks her story is legendary.

Wallis, 53, was born in Somalia's Galkayo Desert to a nomadic family of 12 siblings. At the age of four, she was forced by his father's friend, and by the age of five, she was 'circumcised'.

FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS SINCE THEN, WALLIS CAN ONLY URINATE THROUGH A SMALL HOLE THE SIZE OF A MATCH HEAD, AND IT TAKES MORE THAN TEN MINUTES TO URINATE EACH TIME, AND EVERY TIME SHE COMES TO YUEJING, IT IS EVEN MORE PAINFUL, IN HER ORIGINAL WORDS: THE PAIN IS ONLY WILLING TO DIE A HUNDRED.

But in comparison, she is lucky. The other two of her sisters were circumcised。。。。。。

As she entered puberty, Wallis had already revealed her rebellious nature, which made his father nervous, and wanted to sell her for a good price while she was still young, so at the age of thirteen, she was sold by her father to a sixty-one-year-old man for the price of five camels, and became the old man's fourth wife.

Wallis ran away before she got married, and crossed the desert barefoot to her grandmother's house in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, where she was a complete refugee and her feet were still scarred until she became a model.

Somalia was once very different from Somalia today, which was once one of the world's most luxurious resorts and shipping centers. At that time, Wallis's grandmother was a well-known family in Mogadishu at that time, and her mother eloped with Wallis's father to the desert for love.

Her grandmother took her in, and some time later, just as one of Wallis's uncles was about to be posted as an ambassador to the Eagle Nation Embassy, her aunt came to her grandmother's house and asked her grandmother to help find a servant to accompany her. Wallis was the best candidate, and in this way, she came to London from Africa and worked as a maid living in the basement of the Somali embassy in the Eagle Nation.

But the good times didn't last long, four years later, when the Somali civil war began, the embassy was withdrawn, and her aunt and uncle were urgently recalled to China, but Wallis did not go back, but became an illegal homeless on the streets, living by rummaging through garbage cans at night to eat.

Later, an English woman, Marilyn, took her in and arranged for her to work in a burger restaurant, and although she often secretly ate leftovers from customers, she was still born beautiful, and still met her Bole ------ Mike Goss!

Wallis didn't even think about it, so she went to McGoss to be a model, and the reason was simple, 'It's better to be a model than a waiter, right?'

Originally, Wallis's modeling career was not salty, after all, she was a black person, and in 1983, black people did not have the status they have now. But even so, she held out for several years, until four years later, when he was favored by Terence Donovan.

This Terrance Donovan is still a legend in British fashion photography to this day!

And his photo of Wallis was on the cover of the 'Pirelli Calendar' that year! Since then, Wallis has swept from London to Paris, Milan, and New York, and Wallis has become the brightest star on the runway that year!

The world's top brands have asked her to endorse, and she herself has frequently appeared on the covers of various top fashion magazines, and even starred as the Bond girl in the 007 movie "Dead by Daylight".

However, there is one thing that lingers in her heart like a shadow in her heart, that is, when she was living on the streets of London, she had a menstrual affair and fainted in pain. He was admitted to a relief hospital. A WHITE MALE DOCTOR SAW HER BODY, FRIGHTENED AND SYMPATHETIC, AND WANTED TO OPERATE ON HER.

As a result, when the doctor asked an African male colleague to help translate, the African male colleague angrily scolded Wallis in his native dialect for being shameless.

So in 97, when she was at her most popular, she revealed the fact that she had been circumcised to the world-renowned fashion magazine "Marie Claire".

This topic exploded the world in an instant! You must know that Wallis was the first person to talk openly about female circumcision! This tradition lasted for more than 4,000 years, and no one talked about it openly until 1997! Isn't it scary to think about?

Wallis simply underwent surgery, opened the "blockade" for more than 20 years, took her mother to live in Europe, and fell in love with the American man Dana Morey at first sight, married and had children.

From then on, Wallis simply put aside her work as a model and devoted herself to the fight against circumcision. And she went to the United Nations, and from her, the United Nations had a new image ambassador: the ambassador against female circumcision! Since then, she has gone to African countries to call for the abolition of female genital mutilation.

Under her active campaign, 28 countries, including Egypt, Tanzania, Togo, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, and Gambia, have successively passed legislation to prohibit female circumcision.

Of course, even if the legislation prohibits it, there are still many people who ignore it, after all, it is a tradition that has lasted for more than 4,000 years, but all this still does not stop Wallis. SINCE '97, SHE HAS BEEN ACTIVE IN THE FIELD OF PHILANTHROPY, FOUNDING THE DESERT FLOWER FOUNDATION, WHICH AIMS TO RAISE WOMEN'S AWARENESS OF THE DANGERS OF SHENGZHI CUTTING. He is also one of the founders of the PPR Foundation, which aims to defend the rights and dignity of women.

To this day, she is also founding the Dawn of the Desert Foundation, which supports schools and clinics in Somalia, and the Setez Foundation, a sustainable development and conservation organization.

Even today, however, many diehards in Africa are still very hostile to Wallis, and she has been attacked by activists countless times. Even if she is now the ambassador of peace of the African Alliance, since there is a personal danger everywhere, especially now that half of the countries in Africa have the bad practice of circumcision, in these countries, Wallis's personal safety is still not guaranteed.

Eswatini, on the other hand, is one of the countries where circumcision is practiced. It's no wonder that Kevin says that Wallis might be in danger here.

After Kevin finished telling the story of Wallis Diri, he looked at Xiao Peng with admiration on his face, so he said, "What? Xiao, do you want to know her? I can introduce her." After all, we also know each other. ”

How do you know that when Xiao Peng heard Kevin's words, his head shook like a rattle: "No, no, no, no, no, you can ask Yang Meng." ”

Yang Meng heard this, but his head shook like a rattle: "I'll forget it, I'll forget it." ”

Kevin was stunned: "Xiao, Yang, what's wrong with you two?"

Xiao Peng sighed: "I'm afraid of breaking the fortune." She manages four foundations, and I don't have any money left!"

Yang Meng said: "I'm afraid that there will be a psychological shadow on African women from now on." ”

Kevin shook his head with a wry smile after hearing this: "You guys are really 。。。。。。 It's so blunt!"

Xiao Peng pointed to the venue: "Huh, aren't they dancing anymore? What are they doing now?"
