  • Two Somali girls — sisters aged 10 and 11-years-old — bled to death after undergoing female genital mutilation at the hands of a traditional cutter in a remote village. Aasiyo and Khadijo Farah Abdi Warsame died as their mother was trying to get them to the nearest medical center.
  • Rachel Stewart writes in the New Zealand Herald that Kiwi women, who face high rates of male intimate partner and family violence, “must unite against hard-line patriarchy.”
  • A UK survey found a steep decline in the happiness of girls and young women over the last decade. While exams were a major concern, 59 per cent listed social media pressure and negative interactions online as a factor. Two-thirds of them either felt unsafe walking home alone, or knew another girl who did.
  • A West Midlands man fatally stabbed his eight-year-old daughter in the chest with a kitchen knife moments after threatening to kill her mother, who had come to pick her daughter up after visitation. He now claims he doesn’t remember the murder.
