Join us for a screening of the short documentary "A Pinch of Skin," a film on female genital cutting in India.
Following the screening, speakers will share their perspectives on female genital cutting, drawing on multiple cross cultural and legal discourses to bring attention to this often silenced issue. Mariya Taher, an FSG survivor, writer and social activist, will moderate. Attorney Joanne Golden, community health leader Abdirahman Yusuf and gynecologist Melody Eckardt will join the panel. There will be time for questions and discussion at this free event.
