FGM CRUSADE: WITH FEMINISTS LIKE THIS, WHO NEEDS MISOGYNISTS?


My latest piece on the Anti-FGM campaign explains why the crusade is doing violence to women's rights.

It traces feminists' journey from state opposition in pursuit of freedom and equality to their active support for state intervention around the issue by not challenging the restriction of people’s freedom of movement, the removal of passports, racist finger-pointing to identify ‘at risk’ children, girls and young women, and mandatory examination of girls’ genitals.
