King's Arts & Humanities's video: Mothers Daughters: Continuity Love Fear Belonging - Part Two

Part two of the webinar exploring 'Mothers and Daughters: Continuity, Love, Fear & Belonging'. Feminism has made the exploration of relations between mothers and daughters central to its project. How are these considered fraught, damaged, broken, or, in the eyes of FGM-supporters, strengthened by clitoridectomy? How does FGM compare to other abuses women endure that fracture their inclination to identify and support one another, instead of becoming invested in, or complicit with, systemic injustice? Panellists include: FGM/C & the Female Perpetrator: An Exploration of an Undertheorized Figure- Daniela Hrzán, Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin/Officer for the Strategic Management of Gender Balance at Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences Voices to End FGM/C: Using Storytelling to Shift Social Norms & Enhance Prevention - Lara Kingstone, Communications Coordinator, Sahiyo Trends in Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting: a Qualitative Study - Oluchukwu Loveth Obiora, RPHN Hillel Friedland Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa L’écriture de la douleur: construction de l’excision.
