  • Who Tells the Story? Power, Ethics and Narrative Control on the Movement to End FGM/C.

    Who Tells the Story? Power, Ethics and Narrative Control on the Movement to End FGM/C.
    Aug 12 2026

    Storytelling shapes movements — but when stories involve trauma, harm, and lived experience, the way they are told can either advance justice or cause further harm.

    In this episode of Changing Narratives, host Patricia Mars sits down with Mariya Taher and Amy Hill for a candid conversation on ethical storytelling within the movement to end FGM/C. Together, they unpack what it truly means to keep storytelling survivor-led, how power shows up in narrative spaces and why intention and boundaries matter just as much as visibility.

    This episode explores what actually moves people from awareness to action, how storytelling can be meaningfully connected to policy and systems change and what practices help ensure that sharing stories remains healing rather than extractive. Mariya and Amy also reflect on how storytelling is evolving — especially as younger generations and digital platforms reshape how stories are told, shared and consumed.

    This is a conversation about responsibility, care, and the future of narrative power in advocacy.
