#11 - Khadija Gbla on White Saviourism, The Husband Stitch, The Rise of Labio Plasty, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and What You Can Do To Stop It In Australia

Update: 2022-02-06

Description

Charging up the show this week... Anna welcomes the sensational Khadija Gbla on to the show, to discuss her experience as a victim of and her activism for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). Listen in as Khadija explains how this terrible form of child abuse and gender-based violence is actually taking place on Australian shores.

Khadija explains her own journey towards pleasure as a woman who had had her clitoris cut from her as an innocent nine year old girl, and comments on society's default position, not only on race, religion and gender, but also on clitoric-centric assumptions.

Listen in to her comments after Anna sent her a clitoral air-pulsing vibrator and question your own able-bodied assumptions about sex. Hear what she has to say about Labioplasty in Australia - not just for consenting women, but also for unconsenting children.

Be confronted by the truths she conveys over White Saviourism and why she wants to move away from the stereotypical view of FGM victims as being non-white, non-Christian, non-Anglo Australian.
