The emperor's new clothes? The dangers of the anti-FGM campaign
My Battle in Print essay, written in preparation for the Battle of Ideas discussion on the FGM controversy, can be accessed here.
It covers a history of the practice, types and prevalence, movers and shakers, discusses abuse, the law in regard to it, official responses, as well as why anti-FGM moral crusaders should be challenged.
