    03. Female Genital Mutilation: physical, psychological and psychosocial effects.

    This is the first part of my series of podcasts on Female Genital Mutilation,  I have interviewed Jean Anderson, Founder of the charity 'ONE WOMAN AT A TIME' and Dr Mariam Dahir, who is a Medical Doctor and Public Health Specialist in Somaliland, who is also a survivor of FGM.  My guests have been working hard to promote awareness of the dangers and risks that come with FGM. They are helping to educate the current generation, to help reduce FGM in the next generation.  Jean Anderson's charity 'ONE WOMAN AT A TIME' gives refuge to girls who have been courageous enough to say "no" to their cultural norms and demand their right over their bodies. Dr Dahir is chairing the national movement 'Youth Anti-FGM Somaliland' which is engaging the youth of Somaliland, to change their attitude and behaviour towards FGM and help their voices be heard in their communities, with the goal to end FGM in the next generation. The episode is a conversation with these brilliant women, who will help us understand what FGM is, the different types of FGM and the life-long physical, psychological and psychosocial effects of this procedure, which takes place in the early years of a girl's life.  (This podcast includes content which may not be appropriate for younger audiences.)
