Nigerian activists have intensified their advocacy and campaign against female genital mutilation, or FGM. The practice, which has been outlawed in the country, is still prevalent in some communities. Activists say victims live with trauma and health complications for the rest of their lives. They're pushing for better protection for girls.

In this special edition of Middle East Matters, we focus on the Kurds. Spread across four nations, they are the world's largest stateless ethnic group.

Indigenous to the Middle East and numbering at least 35 million, the Kurds have sought to establish a homeland of their own since the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the 1920s.
