In January 2009 NPR broadcast that 200 girls as young as eight-years-old had to run away from home and leave their families in Sudan to avoid genital mutilation. Riham Shebl is a feminist, Muslim scholar who resides in Egypt where the practice is spreading. Her research includes study of how the Koran supports feminism and her work is dedicated to understanding and stopping female genital mutilation. This program will include a screening of her two documentaries, a provocative presentation and an enlightening discussion.
Presenter: Riham Shebl Cosponsors: SAC, GSA, NSC, CGE Open to All
