Today on 3 Things, Masooma Ranalvi, founder of We Speak Out (a collective of survivors of female genital mutilation or FGM) explains what FGM entails, why the Dawoodi Bohra community practices it and whether it should be seen as a human rights violation or a religious practice. Next, Shubhajit Roy discusses why the election of a new President marked yesterday as a historic day for Maldives and what it means for Maldives-India relations.
