当她11岁那年，Jane Kubai得知父亲打算让她经历女性生殖器肢解，然后结婚后，他逃离家乡。

Later, Kubai developed a passion for medicine while working as a hospital security guard in Kenya’s Nyeri country. A guard by day, and a mother of one, Kubai took theatre technician classes at night — sometimes giving up sleep so that she could watch hours-long surgeries being performed in the operating room.

现在，一位戏剧技术专家27岁的库拜（Kubai）说，她的父亲改变了对童婚的看法。

在她在纳库鲁的新医院接受采访时，库拜告诉SciDev.Netthat she has her sights set on becoming a surgeon.

您最近被评为Heroine of Healthby the Women in Global Health network, for your personal perseverance and your efforts to educate communities and patients on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19. How did you feel about being awarded that title?

It has been a long journey. It was an amazing thing to happen to me. I had not imagined that one day I could be called a heroine. I thank God for everything. The award has been like a candle that has been lit in my life. I will not keep that candle under the table, instead I will make it shine in my life and also in the lives of young girls in our country. I will make sure that as I continue getting more educated I will become an ambassador for the voiceless in the world.

Could you walk me briefly through your life journey?

我来自肯尼亚的梅鲁县。11岁那年，我逃离家乡。在我的社区中，当您年满10至12岁时，您会受到割礼 - 女性生殖器肢体肢体肢体 - 然后您结婚。这是一场强迫婚姻。当我的父亲和母亲向我解释了将要完成的女性女外生手术程序时，我决定消失。我想接受教育，我想回到学校，以便能够有一个未来。我遇到了一位牧师，他带我去了他姐姐的房子，在那里我担任女仆。后来我遇到了另一个支付我学费的牧师，这使我能够完成小学。他还支付了我中学费的一部分。中学毕业后，我在医院找到了保安。 I was dealing with patients at the hospital gate. This inspired me to join medical college, so that instead of guarding the gates I can be guarding the patients on the operating table.

Did you ever go back home?

十年后，我回到家，告诉他们我还活着。我的父母恳求宽恕，并为试图强迫我经历女性女性外女性并在早期结婚而感到遗憾。我的年轻姐妹们没有经历女性女还受到女性女还受欢迎，因为我父亲害怕他们也可能像我一样逃跑。我的父亲现在建议该村的其他家庭免受女性女外汇和早婚。

What are your aspirations for your medical career?

我渴望继续学习并获得文凭。也许某个地方的好撒玛利亚人可以支持我获得文凭。然后，我计划获得学位，然后是剧院技术硕士学位。将来有一天，我将追求成为一名外科医生的梦想。

您对可能热衷于手术工作的年轻女性有什么建议？

我一生中从未放弃过，我只是希望有一天我会成为某人。我建议他们面对挑战并进入医疗领域。对于那些有兴趣在手术室工作的人，我鼓励他们敏锐地关注患者并协助外科医生，使他们能够挽救患者的生命。我还建议他们在面对许多挑战时不要放弃。如果我做到了，为什么不呢？我鼓励他们有一天，一次，他们的梦想成真。
