FGM stands for female genital mutilation. In Nairobi's Kibera slum, Nabuki, whose name means fatherless child, tells her childhood experience of forced genital cutting and child marriage. Siyama Ismail is a human rights advocate, Nubian Cultural Ambassador, counsellor and social worker born and working in Kibera, who works to eradicate FGM. African Union Youth Envoy Aya Chebbi from Tunisia moderated a panel titled Change Social Norms: Abandon Female Genital Mutilation, at Women Deliver in Vancouver, 2016. As of 2025, the UN Population Fund estimates 27 million girls are still at risk around the world.
Note that the body part clitoris is mentioned. (Not on the FCC forbidden words list but may worry some people.)
Produced by Diana Wanyonyi and Frieda Werden.
