FGM, or cutting, as it is also sometimes known, is the removal of the external female genitalia. The procedure has no health benefits, but can cause great harm and serious health complications for those who undergo the procedure. Besides causing severe pain, the practice has immediate and long-term consequences for the health of women and girls, including complications during childbirth, which could endanger the lives of both mother and child.

Through this animation, Al Jazeera takes the reader on a journey to understand how the cycle of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) continues: following a girl who undergoes FGM as she grows up and becomes a mother and chooses, like her mother and grandmother before her, to perform FGM on her baby daughter.

(13 Oct 2017) LEADIN:
A group in Egypt is holding workshops to encourage young Aswan women to learn about feminism.
"A Free Woman from the South" is a women's advocacy group inspired by the revolution.
STORYLINE:
Ayat Osman, a 26-year-old woman from the Upper Egyptian province of Aswan, walks towards her office.
It's the hub of the women's advocacy group she co-founded in her hometown in 2012.
Now she's launching a five-day workshop for young Aswan women to learn about feminism.
Inspired by the revolution, Osman and her friend Nagham Ali found themselves compelled to form a feminist organisation in Aswan.
Their aim was to reverse the tribal and patriarchal nature of their environment by changing women's attitudes about themselves.
Osman says she believes women are more likely to listen to them if the message comes from within:
"As women from the south, we are the most capable of talking about our complex tribal environment. Tribes here would not listen to anyone coming from the outside. So we are telling them we are southern women and we belong to your society and want to say that you have gender-based violence."
Since it was founded, the group has been trying to raise awareness for gender-based violence.
According to Egypt's 2015 Health Issues Survey, Upper Egypt has the highest rate of female genital mutilation in the country.
According to EHIS, 92 percent of women there are circumcised.
Figures from CAPMS, Egypt's Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statistics, also show that southern women are more prone to domestic violence.
According to official figures, at least 30 percent of married Egyptian women were subjected to spousal abuse in 2014.
Although "A Free Woman from the South" seeks to develop a local discourse they also reach out to Cairo feminists for support.
At their workshop they invite speakers from the capital to talk to their peers about the history of the feminist movement and to deconstruct a lot of gender-based dogma.
Osman believes that Upper Egyptian women have more issues to deal with that their peers in the North.
"In general all women have the same concerns, but women in Upper Egypt still face hurdles which their peers in Cairo might have already overcome," she says.
"Women here still cannot choose their husbands. They cannot interfere with the circumcision of their daughters. They cannot inherit their parents' properties. They cannot even study or work away from their hometown."
The Aswan feminists understand that it will take a long time to reverse their society's patriarchal nature - so they are using their workshops to produce vanguard feminists in the south.
"We will consider it an achievement if we end up, after this workshop, convincing ten young women that they have all the right to make choices, to live the way they want, rather than the way society wants them to and to study whatever they like. We want to make sure that at least these girls will not oppress others the way they have been," says Nagham Ali, co-founder of "A Free Woman from the South".
Alaa Mohamed, a 22-year-old student from Aswan University's medical school, says the workshop has helped prepare her to deal with future female subjugation:
"We, women, face a lot of violence, discrimination and stigma for the mere fact that we are females," she says
"Feminism helps us understand why we face these issues and how to react."

March 8 marks International Women's Day around the world, seeking to end gender discrimination, violence and abuse. We start the show by looking at the day's roots in socialism, and what it means for the movement for reproductive justice in the United States. Our guest is Nancy Krieger, renowned professor of social epidemiology at Harvard University's School of Public Health and director of the Interdisciplinary Concentration on Women, Gender, and Health. She's also co-founder and chair of the Spirit of 1848 Caucus in the American Public Health Association, which links social justice and public health. International Women's Day has always been a struggle for "the conditions in which people can thrive," says Krieger.

This webinar will explore the intersections of feminist and anti-racist activism in the Middle East and North Africa. Professor Nadje Al-Ali will be in conversation with Maie Panaga, Menna Agha, Nabila Moussaoui, and Khawla Ksiki - four prominent feminist activists and researchers who are engaged in anti-racist campaigns and politics. We will be exploring the question of racism within the Middle East and North Africa and the way feminist movements in the region have historically often been complicit in maintaining and reproducing racism. What if anything has changed recently? How do younger generations of feminist and queer activists approach racism? How has feminism changed in the region? Has the global Black Lives Matter movement had an impact on anti-racist struggles in the Middle East and North Africa?

This webinar is part of a series of events focusing on gender and feminist issues on the one hand, as well as a series of events around anti-Black racism in the Middle East and its diasporas.

THE DINNER is a dark psychological thriller about a fierce showdown between two couples during the course of an ornately prepared meal at a fancy restaurant. When Stan Lohman (Richard Gere), a popular congressman running for governor, invites his troubled younger brother Paul (Steve Coogan) and his wife Claire (Laura Linney) to join him and his wife Katelyn (Rebecca Hall) for dinner at one of the town’s most fashionable restaurants, the stage is set for a tense night. While Stan and Paul have been estranged since childhood, their 16-year- old sons are friends, and the two of them have committed a horrible crime that has shocked the country. While their sons’ identities have not yet been discovered and may never be, their parents must now decide what action to take. As the night proceeds, beliefs about the true natures of the four people at the table are upended, relationships shatter, and each person reveals just how far they are willing to go to protect those they love.
