This week I was luckily enough to speak with, Hoda Ali, a human rights activist and nurse who has been defending the rights of women and girls for over 15 years through working and campaigning to end female genital mutilation in the UK.

Hoda comes from an interesting background, during this episode we talk about her journey to the U.K as a refugee and her work educating society as Hoda believes education is very important for preventing FGM. We discuss pornography's impact on the female body (what we expect vaginas to look like) and how pornography is shaping the way teens think sex is (female pleasure matters too. The clitoris has 8000 more nerve endings than the tip of a penis and this was only discovered in 1998), women's sexual health. The impact of FGM later on in life and the medical issues that come with having undergone the practice.

Hoda Ali's story and message is an important one, so please share it.
