What does it look like when a survivor leads a global youth movement to end female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C)?
In this bold and moving episode of Changing Narratives, we sit down with Dr. Costly Abosede Aderibigbe—medical doctor, FGM/C survivor and Executive Secretary of the Global Youth Consortium Against FGM. Costly’s work spans over 50 countries, uniting young people to demand a future free from FGM/C—with the power of lived experience, medical expertise and radical hope.
We explore her journey from survival to global leadership, what it takes to dismantle harmful practices in the face of rising anti-rights agendas and how the next generation is rewriting the rules of resistance.
This is more than an interview—it’s a testament to the unstoppable force of youth and the power of purpose. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your shows.
