Joining the list of elite journalists across Africa, Peace Hyde has been shortlisted for the category of Young Upcoming Health Journalist award for her work detailing the horrific practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and its effect on the young girls who endure the vicious act.

The work was published in the prestigious Forbes Woman Africa magazine and will be one of 3 shortlisted finalists for the category at the Awards ceremony, which takes place on the 15th of June in South Africa.
