In this episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast host Christopher Jordan welcomes to the program Natasha R Johnson, Founder and head of Globalizing Gender a non-profit organization that works to create a gender just world through advocacy, capacity building, technical assistance, and wellness. Working locally, through a culturally-aware lens, to impact globally.
When people travel and emigrate, their practices and beliefs travel and emigrate, too. Included is female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). Among many communities and in many cultures, women aren’t entitled to make their own decisions about what happens to their bodies. This is a “fundamental violation of basic human rights.” Sadly, the fact is genital mutilation happens daily on a global basis, and even in our own backyards. How can we go about raising awareness and stopping this world-wide scourge in its tracks?
Join the Dudes n Beer podcast as we discuss what should be one of the hot button issues of the Century, the global ceasing of female genital mutilation, with special guest Natasha R Johnson of Globalizing Gender.
