Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a term that makes my skin crawl to even say it. However, it's practiced in over 92 countries, and even until the 1970s, health insurance in the United States covered female circumcision.

These are facts I learned from Farzana Doctor, an FGM survivor and now Activist, Psychotherapist, and Writer. Her latest book, Seven, is a rich, soulfully written novel about inheritance and resistance that tests the balance between modern and traditional customs.

This episode is full of learning about FGM, the Dawoodi Bohra community, and how patriarchy continues to be propagated by women. This is a nuanced conversation and I invite you to take a keen listen to this one.
