Voices to End FGM/C has grown to include more than 70 storytellers from 19+ countries. They came to our workshops and crafted powerful short videos … but so much was left unsaid. If you’re interested in hearing more from our storytellers and learning more about the medical and legal landscape for FGM/C in the U.S. and in other parts of the world, tune in now to our podcast.

In six episodes ranging in length from 20-40 minutes each, Voices founders Mariya Taher and Amy Hill talk with digital storytelling workshop participants about the complex familial, cultural, and political contexts of their stories. Some episodes bring in guests who have acted in their capacity as partners, therapists, public health professionals, and elected officials to speak out against FGM/C. If you’ve always wanted to know more about FGM/C, or if you’re wondering why, as a feminist or social justice activist, you should care about the topic, tune in now. All episodes are available here, as well as on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Content Advisory: This podcast includes frank discussions about what FGM/C is and how survivors can be affected, in terms of their physical and mental health. It is not appropriate for children. While most episodes are free of graphic language, episode two does include definitions of FGM/C which may be difficult for some audiences. Listener discretion is advised.
