About this listen

FGM/C is too often seen as only an African issue — but across Asia, millions of girls are at risk every year.

In this bold conversation, host Patricia Mars is joined by Ika Agustina from Kalyanamitra, a feminist organization based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Ika shares the powerful grassroots work happening to end FGM/C in Asia — from community-led change to groundbreaking research and fierce advocacy for national and international policy reform.

Together, they dive into what it really takes to confront FGM/C in a region where tradition, religion, and social pressures run deep — and why centering Asian voices is essential to ending this practice worldwide.

This episode challenges assumptions, spotlights incredible activism and reminds us that change is being led from every corner of the world.
