A pregnant asylum seeker who arrived in Glasgow Central Station bleeding, crying and with her five-year-old daughter in tow has hailed the city and its people for 'saving her life'.
Joy*, who asked to remain anonymous, was subjected to female genital mutilation at the hands of a tribe in Sierra Leone when she was just five years old. Terrified her daughter would meet the same fate, and fearful for her own life, Joy fled home in August 2021 and made it to Glasgow a couple of days later.
The mum-of-two is speaking out about her ordeal and how 'wonderful, angel' Glaswegians 'made her feel safe and at peace.'
