Podcast feedWorking to Stop Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Kenya, Somalia & London
The World Health Organisation and the United Nations agree that the practice of FGM infringes the human rights of over 100 million girls and women, endangers their health and risks damage to babies during childbirth. Maasai Woman, Agnes Pareiyo, who was in London recently, is working to eradicate the practice of FGM in Kenya through the Tasaru Ntomonok Initiative. Asha-Kin Duale, came to London as a refugee from Somalia in the 1990s, is a long term campaigner to end the practice among Somalis and works as a Community Partnership Adviser. Talking to ccradio’s Marian Larragy, they trace the way the practice fits into local belief systems in each country and discuss legal and social strategies to combat it. Editing by Christina Moore.
