Between 2016 And 2024, 30 Million Women Were Subjected To Female Genital Mutilation
from Viewpoints Radio · host Ebony McMorris | AURN, Evan Rook, Gary Price, Marty Peterson
For many Americans, the assumption is that female genital mutilation – the process of partially or fully cutting female external genitalia – is an outdated, old-world tradition that is no longer practiced. Sadly, this isn’t the case, and more than 200 million girls and women today have undergone the traumatic and life-altering practice. The U.S. isn’t immune either to this practice, with surgeries usually occurring under the radar in smaller, private practices. We speak with Jaha Dukureh, a victim of FGM and global advocate, to get a better understanding on why FGM persists and what’s being done to curb these numbers.
