Asha Ismail is the Director of ONGD Save a Girl Save a Generation. She was born in a town in Kenya called Garissa, near the border of Somalia. Since 2001, she has been living in Spain. She started advocating against female genital mutilation (FGM) and other practices, such as forced marriages and different forms of abuse and violence against girls for the past 30 years. She has worked at a grassroots level in Kenya, Somalia, and Tanzania, where she raised awareness and promoted education to eradicate these practices.
She continues her work in Spain, through the organization that she co-founded, helping women who have been affected in one way or another by these practices.
