The Jordan Harbinger Show · 1378: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) | Skeptical Sunday · 6 Sep 2026 podcast

Both Somalia and Sudan have historically had some of the highest rates of FGM in the world, so British healthcare providers have spent decades building specialist clinics, training midwives and nurses, and learning how to care for women who have survived FGM.

Even so, those services are unevenly distributed, they're chronically underfunded, and they exist nowhere near the scale that's needed.

In the United States, even more fragmented.

And this connects directly to the funding gap because the money to train healthcare providers, to build specialist services, to support survivor led mental health programs, it just simply isn't there.

care at the scale required.

Yeah.

I mean, there are concrete models of success.

So Cameroon, Ghana, and Uganda have already achieved their FGM elimination targets ahead of the twenty thirty deadline.

Budin, the Maldives, Niger and Togo, they're all on track to achieve zero cases by the end of the decade.

I mean these are actual results, and the pattern that emerges from every place that has succeeded is consistent.

Change happens from the inside out, not the outside in.

But they probably have high rates of back alley FGM.

Yeah.

Tell me about it.

I I will not join you.

The gold standard is Tostan, which is a West African NGO whose community empowerment program has helped nearly 9,000 communities completely abandon FGM.

That's remarkable.

Yeah.

And their approach is not to arrive and announce that FGM is wrong and demand change.

They facilitate conversations about health, human rights, and what families actually want for their daughters.
