Breaking the silence on FGM | Naimah Hassan | TEDxExeter
Description:

Every year 3 million girls suffer female genital mutilation (FGM), with 200 million around the world at risk of being cut. Naimah Hassan reveals how brave campaigners are using the power of the media to change the minds of those who support the practice, and why she hopes an end to FGM is possible.

Naimah Hassan is a founding member and programme director of Global Media Campaign, a non-profit organisation that uses media to create self-sustaining action to ending violence against women and girls.
