Urgh, the bit about FGM reminded me that there was an advert on TV in the UK for a charity that helps protect girls from FGM and child marriage. When my dad saw it, he immediately went "and what about all of the boys dying from starvation!?". It's maddening.

Girls are immune to starvation, after all. That's why girls are often given less food than their brothers.
