In the Holocaust, Jews could hardly escape the pursuit. The Germans arrested each other accurately. There are two reasons for this situation: the first is that the Jews are very organized, and there are rosters in synagogues, and the Nazis just need to arrest people according to

WWII During the Nazis, they successively massacred about 6 million Jews in Europe. Jews in mainland Europe suffered heavy losses, and only Jews in Britain, Spain and other places survived.

In the Holocaust, Jews could hardly escape the pursuit. The Germans caught each other accurately. There are two reasons for this situation:

First, the Jews are very organized, and there are rosters in synagogues, and the Nazis just need to arrest people according to the roster.

Second, even if the Jews escape, their physical characteristics cannot be changed. Jewish men must be "circumcised" and can be recognized as soon as they take off their pants. If you recognize a Jewish man, you can arrest all his relatives.

When it comes to "circumcision", Chinese people are relatively unfamiliar with this thing, but in the West and some third world countries, "circumcision" is a heavy topic.

In some areas of Africa and Middle East , both men and women must undergo circumcision and cut off part of the skin of the genitals. Specifically, men cut off the foreskin, while women cut off the clitoris and labia.

This custom has lasted for at least three thousand years. Currently, people who perform "circumcision" are mainly Jews and Islamists. "circumcision" for men is often not harmful, while "circumcision" for women is extremely dangerous, and girls often die because of this.

996, the European fashion industry launched the "Boycott of circumcision" movement, and the leader was Somali supermodel Wallis Dili . Somalia, born in

Wallees , is the region with the highest proportion of female "circumcision" in the world, with more than 98%. Wallis herself was "circumcised" at the age of 4, was sold to a stranger as his wife at the age of 12, and was reborn after fleeing Somalia at the age of 14.

Wallis has been tortured by the sequelae of "circumcision" for more than 20 years. After becoming famous in the fashion industry, she called on the world to pay attention to the "circumcision" issue of African women, which eventually attracted the attention of United Nations , causing a large number of African countries to legislate to ban "circumcision".

Wallis is therefore known as the "flower of the desert", but it is hard to imagine that her childhood was very miserable.

So, how did Wallis become famous in the Western world after escaping Somalia? Under her call, what changes have occurred in Africa's "circumcision" behavior now?

1. Wallis, the victim of the old customs

Wallis. Diri was born in 1965 in the Galkayo region in central Somalia. Her family is a local traditional nomadic tribe and believes in Islam .

Wallis's father is a traditional man with several wives and gave birth to a bunch of children. However, due to poverty and "circumcision", Wallis's family has 12 children, and only 6 live to adulthood.

There are several older brothers and sisters on Wallis, two of them died unfortunately. What killed them was East Africa 's thousand-year bad habit - circumcision.

In Somalia, almost every woman has to undergo the destruction of circumcision in her childhood. At the age of 5, Wallis also experienced circumcision.

969, Wallis was just 4 years old. Once she was playing on the grassland at home, she was suddenly picked up by several men. These men are their father's friends and relatives. They carried Wallis into a tent and sexually assaulted him.

Wallis was frightened, she cried and struggled, and finally attracted the attention of her family.

After the family rescued Wallis, the family did not pursue these criminals because in places like Somalia, sexual assault is common, and men use this as a pastime, and no one pursues the consequences.

After Wallis was sexually assaulted, the family discussed: "The child is not young anymore, at least in the eyes of others. She is wandering outside and will only suffer more torture."

The mother discussed with the female members of the family that she wanted to "circumcise" her, which is also a kind of protection. As soon as the spring of the following year, Wallis's family "circumcised" her.

Walis recalled that she was pressed to the ground by her mother and sister, tied her hands and spread her legs apart. Another woman held a cleaned blade in her hand and cut off part of her vulva tissue without taking anesthesia. The whole process was bleeding, and the thing that stopped her from bleeding was , wood ash, and .

When I was shooting, Wallis cried endlessly, and her mother poured pepper into her mouth from time to time. She closed her mouth because of the bitterness to prevent her tongue from biting.

After cutting the clitoris and part of the flesh, Wallis's vulva was sutured, leaving only a small hole, a little thicker than a small branch, used to excrete urine.

It is obvious that this operation has severely damaged the human body. Girls who have experienced this operation will suffer from lower body pain for several months. Some girls will die of wound infection. One of Wallis's sisters died within one month after "circumcision".

And this operation will cause genital deformation and make delivery difficult, Wallis's eldest sister died of difficult labor.

Wallis is lucky. She survived the "circumcision" and continued to thrive, but the poor urination caused by the squirting of the vagina made her very painful, and her time spent in the toilet increased greatly.

She once told her mother about her pain, but her mother told her to be patient. This is how every woman comes through.

"Every woman comes here like this."

This sentence was engraved in Wallis's mind. She believed that being a woman was a kind of "original sin" and she felt disgusted with herself.

2. Escape from Somalia, Wallis stayed alone in the UK

2. When she was 112 years old, Wallis had her first period. According to the teaching method, she could already get married.

Wallis's father happily contacted her with the media. Finally, with multiple introductions, Wallis was betrothed to a 60-year-old man she had never seen before, at the cost of 5 camels.

However, 12-year-old Wallis has no right to say no, and in the end she was taken away by a strange man in the blessings of her family.

In the house of a strange man, Wallis was abused by the man's wife again. She was very frightened by this strange environment and finally escaped from her husband's house alone one night.

Wallis's escape was very secretive. In order not to arouse suspicion, she ran to the desert without even taking water.

While she was rushing, she met a hunting lioness. Wallis thought she was dead, but she didn't expect that the lioness did not attack her and just passed by her slowly.

Walis was inspired by this miracle. She continued to run to a town and contacted her aunt who was far away in the capital Mogadishu with the help of kind-hearted people.

She begged her aunt to help her, but fortunately, her aunt couldn't bear it and took her to her side.

Wallis's aunt is educated and has a relatively open mind. She is willing to give her little niece a bite of food. In return, Wallis worked as a nanny at her aunt's house, exchanging her labor for her living expenses.

At my aunt's house, Wallis completed her work diligently and was recognized by her aunt. But Wallis was still in panic at the time, afraid that his family would come to his aunt's house to take her away and sell her to a man he didn't know.

It just so happens that my aunt has a relative named Mohammed, who is an official of the Somali government and is about to go to London, the capital of the United Kingdom to serve as Somali ambassador to the United Kingdom. Wallis begged his aunt to introduce herself to Muhammad, and she could be a servant, just to leave Somalia.

Mumah refused at first because he could not report a minor girl to the British government as a servant.

But he also sympathized with Wallis's experience, and finally brought Wallis to the UK in the name of his family and worked as a cleaner in the embassy.

Wallis came to London, England and saw a completely different world. The food and climate here made her uncomfortable, but when she thought of being far away from her hometown and no longer threatened to be sold, she felt much more relaxed.

After that, Wallis worked diligently in the embassy for 4 years. She studied English while working, thinking that one day she would integrate into this strange society in the future.

However, just when Wallis was 18 years old, a unfortunate news came - Muhammad's four-year term ended, and Somalia would send another person to take him here, and Muhammad had to bring all his subordinates and family back to Somalia.

Walis refused to return home after learning the news. Mohamed advised her to go back because she had no relatives and no income in the UK and might sleep on the streets.

Wallees believes that even sleeping on the streets of London is better than being sold by her family when she goes back.

After rejecting Mohammed and staying alone in London, she searched for a livelihood everywhere in unskilled English and finally found a job to sweep the floor at McDonald's . This job has very little salary, but it is what Wallis needs most.

3. A "desert flower" protects countless African women

At this time, although Wallis has grown up, the nightmare of "circumcision" is still bothering her. Her lower body often hurts, especially during menstruation, because of poor excretion, her abdominal pain makes it difficult for her to work properly.

Soon, colleagues discovered that Wallis had been using the toilet for a very long time. They reported to the boss that Wallis might be lazy in the toilet, and the boss found Wallis and talked.

Faced with outsiders’ questioning, Wallis felt very aggrieved and finally confessed her situation to a female colleague.

Walis showed her sealed lower body, her colleague was shocked. Europeans could hardly imagine that there were women in the world suffering such a disaster.

Wallis worked at McDonald's for two years. One day, a white middle-aged man who was dining here found him. He was attracted by Wallis's appearance and wanted to take a set of photos for her.

This man is Mike Gus, a famous British photographer. The set of photos he took for Wallis was finally on the cover of the annual calendar of the car brand Pirelli .

Since then, this beautiful 20-year-old black woman has immediately become popular in the European modeling industry, and various photographers have sent her olive branches.

European cosmetics, fashion and jewelry brands have also invited her to walk the show or shoot pictorials. Wallis quickly became a top-tier European model and a top supermodel.

html From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, Wallis became popular in Europe and made a lot of money. The first thing she did after she became rich was to go to the hospital and find a surgeon to remove the sutures of the circumcision for herself.

Wallis has since removed the burden that has accompanied her for decades. After the first time, Wallis was moved to tears.

In 1995, Wallis got married and gave birth to a child two years later.

After having a family, Wallis gradually gave up her work and she began to think deeper questions - In her hometown, countless girls are suffering from "circumcision", and these women are her sisters.

Wallis is determined to go to war with this cruel custom. She wants to use her appeal to call on the whole society to pay attention to the bad habit of "circumcision" in Africa.

Wales found a reporter and told the whole society about her experience, telling Europeans how terrifying the circumcision is.

European fashion industry is the first circle to respond to this. Fashion brands, international supermodels and actors jointly support Wallis and call on the government to interfere in Africa's "circumcision".

997, anti-circumcision became a human issue and was officially sent to the United Nations for discussion. UN Secretary-General Annan invited Wallis and appointed her as the "International Representative for Anti-circumcision Women" to carry out "anti-circumcision" propaganda around the world.

Wallis ran for this and raised funds for African women. Finally, in the early 21st century, the "Flowers of Desert" foundation was established to promote East African countries to give up "circumcision" and provide assistance to women who have been damaged by "circumcision".

With the efforts of Wallis and the United Nations, after 2005, African countries have already legislated bans on "circumcision", and countless African girls have been saved.

However, in East Africa, poor women are still suffering from circumcision among poor nomadic tribes. This custom is not easy to completely eradicate.

Walis faded out of the fashion industry after middle age and was specifically responsible for the "anti-circumcision" activities. She once told reporters: " I am willing to devote my life to it until circumcision disappears from the earth. "
