“That is how we raise our daughters”

Although the law explicitly prohibits female genital mutilation (FGM), in Egypt, the society is still divided on the issue. Having experienced FGM, some women in Egypt still support the procedure, while others have decided to protect their daughters from its perils. In this episode, we listen to two different opinions and ask mothers: will you let your daughter undergo the operation? Why?
