Our guest this week is Nimco Ali OBE.  A leading survivor activist, author and political strategist.  Born and raised in Manchester, at the age of six whilst on a trip to Somalia with her Grandparents, she found herself caught in the crossfire of a civil war.  Forced to flee and unable to return home, she was for a time a child refugee.  She found safety with her family but the following year, faced an altogether different trauma. Organised and encouraged by her own mother, Nimco underwent the brutality of FGM.   She later became seriously ill as a result of complications from that abuse. The mental scars continued for many years to come.  Despite this Nimco has become one of the world's most powerful campaigners and activists against FGM – an act that still impacts many millions of women.In this conversation, Nimco speaks impressively about how she managed the impact of her crises including the complex and fractured relationship with her mother and family. To this day she is subjected to intimidation and criticism for breaking the code of silence that too often exists around FGM.In this podcast she talks powerfully about the methods she has deployed to survive and thrive including a sense of humour and a love of The Spice Girls.  Nimco is an extraordinary woman who, through her sheer force of personality and strength of mind, has brought about change in attitudes towards FGM here and abroad.Nimco's Crisis Cures: 1 – Humour – I find it in the people around me.2 – An App called Pattern – it's about star signs… I've become more connected with the idea that our life path is charted before our birth.  I'm a great believer in fate and destiny.  We assume we're more important than we are, rather than being a grain of sand in a broader conversation.  I hold true to the idea that if it's going to happen, it's going to happen.3 - The Spice Girls – I believe they were fundamental to my activism – a group of women who took on the patriarchy in a different way.  I was once asked what my favourite quote was and I said  –  “If you want to be my lover, you got to get on with my friends”Links:https://www.thefivefoundation.org/Stream/Buy ‘Allies' by Some Velvet Morning: https://ampl.ink/qp6bm Some Velvet Morning Website: www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk

Ritula Shah presents Any Questions from the Radio Theatre at Broadcasting House, London

Nimco Ali is co-founder of Daughters of Eve, a charity dedicated to fighting female genital mutilation, a form of violence directed against women found in many cultures. She spoke to Alastair Benn about her own experience of FGM, her fight for gender equality and the bigotry of the New Left. Recorded at the Reaction offices.

Nimco was seven when she was taken to Djibouti to be cut. In an unflinching interview, activist Nimco Ali takes James O’Brien on her incredible personal story, from fleeing her native Somaliland as a child refugee escaping civil war to finding her place on the FGM frontline, fighting to bring the practice to an end.

Nimco Ali - social activist, co-founder and director of the Daughters of Eve organisation, met Heydon & Jolyon over the dining table for a hearty conversation about civil war and FGM .

Nimco Ali is a British Somali feminist, social activist and prolific social media commentator. She is co-founder and director of Daughters of Eve, a survivor led organisation which has helped to transform the approach to ending female genital mutilation (FGM). Nimco has also worked on The Girl Generation: Together To End FGM campaign, which celebrates the Africa-led movement to end FGM in one generation. Here Nimko talks about oversharing: “I have spent the last few years talking very openly about my Fanny, some might say oversharing at times. It is not something that I wanted to do but it is something that has set me free. In my attempt to get us to talk more about vaginas so we can keep them safe, I have found some of the deepest and most powerful experiences”. Recorded at the 5x15 Bristol event on September 11 2016. 5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations.

But whatever the label it's become a hugely contentious practice in countries across Africa and beyond. Stephen Sackur speaks to two guests with first-hand experience - Fuambai Ahmadu is co-founder of the group African Women are Free to Choose, and Nimco Ali is co-creator of the Daughters of Eve movement. Should FGM have a place in the 21st Century?(Photo: Left to right, Fuambai Ahmadu and Nimco Ali)
