"This book explores the phenomenon of anti-FGM social media activism. Against a backdrop
of over 200 million girls and women worldwide affected by FGM, this volume examines
key global online campaigns to end the practice, involving leading virtual platforms
such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Drawing from twenty-one fieldwork interviews
with anti-FGM activists, frontline practitioners and survivors; the volume investigates
opportunities and challenges inherent to cyberspace. These include online FGM bans
as well as practices such as 'cyber-misogyny' and 'clicktivism'. Global campaigns
featured include: UN's International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM, WHO's Sexual and
Reproductive Health Programme, The Girl Generation, The Guardian's End FGM Global
Media Campaign and the Massai Cricket Warriors. Furthermore, ten case-studies document
prominent anti-FGM campaigners. Firstly, five African-led narratives from celebrated
activists: Efua Dorkenoo OBE, Waris Dirie, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Jaha Mapenzi Dukureh and
Leyla Hussein. Secondly, five accounts from FGM survivors interviewed for the book:
Mama Sylla, Masooma Ranalvi, Farzana Doctor, Fatou Baldeh and Mariya Taher. By exploring
anti-FGM online activism, this book fills a gap in the literature, which has largely
overlooked FGM's presence in cyberspace as a virtual social movement. Female Genital
Mutilation and Social Media will be of interest to activists, survivors, frontline
professionals, students, academics and the wider public"
