Women’s Rights
“The fact that women, half of the world’s people, continue to
experience discrimination, including violence, is an appalling state of
affairs that must be changed. Put simply, a more just world for
women and girls is a just world for everyone.”
Also by Anika
The book opens with a description of female circumcision/female genital mutilation, its history and its consequences for health. The authors look at the reasons used to justify it—control of women’s sexuality, tradition, interpretation of religious dictates—and present a history of the movement working to combat it.
