That&#8217;s a United Nations statistic and also the last comment in the film &#8220;Desert Flower,&#8221; the story of supermodel Waris Dirie, who endured female genital mutilation at age five.

		<description><![CDATA[It took 82 years for the FBI to change its naive, chauvinistic definition of rape. That&#8217;s 10 years longer than the campaign to give women the right to vote. Once again, women&#8217;s rights advocates are credited with the change.
