S2023 E5 FGM: For the Love of Fatmata

本集简介

This is the story of a country where the path to womanhood can bring pain, trauma, and even death. A country where children can be left motherless because of the ancient traditions of Bondo - a Sierra Leone secret society which cuts out female genitals as part of centuries old rite of passage ceremonies. FGM – female genital mutilation – is woven so deep into the female fabric of Sierra Leone, most women there have had their genitalia cut. No-one really knows how many have died as a result.

Kito: Blackmailing LGBT Nigeria

When Nigeria passed some of the toughest anti-homosexuality laws in Africa, the internet became a place for the LGBT community to connect with others more safely – until criminal gangs went digital too.
Africa Eye investigates how members of the LGBT community in Nigeria are targeted by criminal gangs who pose as potential dates on popular apps, only to extort, beat and even kidnap them.
This crime is so prevalent it even has a name: Kito. Africa Eye speaks to dozens of victims who have been ‘kito'd', and meets the activists, and even law enforcement officers, who are using the very tactics of the blackmailers to fight them back.
