Objective To describe the experiences of girls who have undergone FGM/C, so that efforts toward ending this practice can be scaled up using evidence-based interventions. Method: A qualitative descriptive design with in-depth interviews conducted with 16 genitally mutilated girls, aged between 12 and 19 years. Results: Four themes and 10 sub-themes were identified. The themes were: it is the right thing to do; the cold circumcision morning; life after FGM/C; FGM/C is ongoing. They experienced fear, uncertainty, pain, and helplessness due to the practice. Conclusion: The FGM/C experiences of these girls could serve as evidence to scale up efforts toward ending FGM/C
