About this episode
In this powerful live episode of Men Men Men, recorded in Monduli before an audience of over 200 people, we confront one of the most sensitive and deeply rooted issues in our communities: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).This is not a conversation about blame, it is a conversation about responsibility.Bringing together Dr. Gwajima (Minister  for Community Development, Gender, Women and Special Groups), a courageous FGM survivor, a male anti-FGM champion, a mental health expert, and voices from the community, this episode goes beyond awareness. It challenges men to reflect on their role in either sustaining or ending the practice.Through raw, honest, and at times uncomfortable dialogue, we explore:The hidden mental and emotional impact of FGMHow silence from men allows harmful practices to continueThe connection between trauma, relationships, and family lifeWhat it truly means to be a man who protects rather than preserves harmAnd the urgent question:  If not men, then who will stop this?This is Men Men Men at its core,  real conversations, real accountability, real change.Because FGM will not end with policies alone. It will end when men decide:“Not in my family. Not in my name. Not in my generation.”
