“Medicalization” of FGM is a serious crime as it violates human rights and medical ethics! We should denounce the practice which is ailing our society and our children’s’ future! #16DaysofActivism #PowerToYouth
I’m a barrister & I know the law doesn’t protect women and girls – it needs to change. This is why I’m launching a new, radical organisation Right to Equality in partnership with Good Law Project.
We WILL change the law for women & girls🧵
