Episode 40 - Who Is Responsible and why do girls rights remain dispensable? FGM, Governance Gaps, and Feminist Justice

from What Girls Want: A Podcast · host ATHENA Network

Rather than framing FGM as a cultural practice, this episode interrogates it as a failure of governance, public health systems, and political will. The discussion explores how weak enforcement, cross-border dynamics, medicalisation, and underfunded prevention efforts perpetuate harm and what state accountability, survivor-centred responses, and feminist policy change should look like.
