The Inquiry: Why Can鈥檛 Egypt Stop FGM?
Dalia abd El-Hameed says Egypt needs a sexual revolution if it鈥檚 to end FGM.
Since FGM was outlawed in Egypt in 2008 the percentage of girls aged 15 to 17 who have had FGM has dropped from 75% to 60%. In this excerpt from The Inquiry, women鈥檚 rights activist Dalia abd El-Hameed says Egypt needs a sexual revolution if it鈥檚 to get that number down to zero.
