Episode description as stored

Did you know there are over 500,000 cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) in the United States and 230 million worldwide? This shocking reality persists into the 21st century, driven by cultural and religious traditions. Dr. Maria Viola Sanchez, founder of the nonprofit organization Stop the Cut Now, joins Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro in this episode to discuss her mission to eradicate this heinous practice and raise awareness about its devastating effects on women and girls. Dr. Sanchez shares her extensive expertise and experiences, emphasizing the pain and trauma inflicted upon victims, many of whom are subjected to this procedure as young as infancy, Throughout the episode, we delve into the painful realities of FGM, the challenges faced in changing societal norms, and the importance of education and legislation to combat this human rights violation. Dr. Sanchez highlights the lack of awareness and legislative action, particularly in nine U.S. states and Washington D.C., where no laws currently prohibit FGM. This episode serves as a rallying cry for listeners to educate themselves and take action against this barbaric practice, urging them to support organizations working towards legislative reform and community awareness. Join us as we explore how we can collectively work towards a future free of FGM and empower women globally. stopthecutnow.org womenroadwarriors.com www.podpage.com/women-road-warriors/ https://womenspowernetwork.net female genital mutilation, FGM awareness, Stop the Cut Now, Dr. Maria Viola Sanchez, women's rights, human rights violations, genital mutilation statistics, cultural practices women's health, eradicate FGM, female empowerment, women's health education, international women's issues, Shelley Johnson, Shelley M.
