is something of a magnet. much to the delight of booksellers, like victor love as by kill air, who is glad for all the visitors who flocked to the village and has more bookshelves than bars and restaurants. old typewriters are his passion and especially the books that were written with them. victor lopez, but a year runs an ant aquarium bookshop in little when spain for the 47 year old. this store is a dream come true. it althea, i was guardian browsing. bookstores has always fascinated me if i cannot searching for little treasures yet. see now the fact that i'm no professionally involved surrounded by bookselling is a real gift. any jo, but i'm you say welcome to go to little a gift that comes with compromises. in rural edwin ya, there is no longer

a baker or a butcher. the small medieval village with just a 100 inhabitants both 8 bookstores. romania is the village of books, tyson, i mean say a lot about ada was cutting normally. you would only expect to find a book stores like this in water city city would have been a soon experimental but or the when you the book village is an experiment because i'm a bit wrapped out of a sack out of the project. the tries to get the book trade out of the big city in order to create a very special cultural and touristic offering, eat the least the gown book. all peculiar. 15 years ago, the local council launched the book village project a curve, the widespread rural exodus. the booksellers only pay $10.00 euros a month and rent like fidel raso and to morrow crespo if she's

a journalist yet he's a photographer. the couple has been traveling the world and brought back impressions of iraq war refugee crisis in the fall of the berlin wall. from here they now sell books on journalism and travel to customers around the world. establishing a ria benavidez, small book, still in a tiny town, surrounded by fields in this lastly populated spanish countryside is nittany connected to the world by the internet ceiling world t small. i work using social networks, feel it now. so i'm not just sitting here waiting for someone to come and physically piper assuming an umbrella named us. he is the head of the project. the we're in the dk valdez only recently took over responsibility for the book village . he hopes for fresh momentum, more tourists and more gastronomy in order to finally breathe new life into the community, m. c, v, and his home polo 8 that krista air. if he visits

a village which a girlfriend and struggle to find a coffee, a beer, or a bathroom and i'll be, i'll think twice about coming back. that will be as us, although even if there were 37 bookstores here, sir, uncle on getting other. and they said that he wanted he us in addition to the current 8 stores, there is also a book binary unit. rosa de miguel and fernando gutierrez, are commissioned by libraries, archives, and notaries they sell hand made volumes to tourists. as a seasonal side business. they are skeptical whether more tourism will actually make the book village more successful if complicated with a more it through most of the one complete go. human tourism is one of those things get ish, andrea, the machine often. it's not good to attract too many tourists in diameter. hint then nothing. if it were visitors doesn't always lead to better service with us. yes, nor does that mean we sell more. how young they are. they went there gentle tourism

in the spanish countryside. a true balancing act. after all, people like victor should not be driven away. and con callo ladale ne, i found a place where i feel comfortable than they were. i'm surrounded by books, leave it on a village where i could do what i want the equal where i can work in a relaxed way. if that's a privilege these days i can okay. but no longer an exclusive one would win. you has got competition. a 2nd, look village, near bar salon of all places where victor comes from. but that doesn't change his plan. victor is here to stay it's a shocking statistic. europe is home to at least 600000 women and girls who are victims of female genital mutilation, or if g and that's according to report by the commission behind this estimate. last

a terrible reality. the french get ecologist, heather her, tim encounters every day. she works for a hospital in paris that specializes in treating the victims of female genital mutilation. in france, like an all of the u. s. g m is illegal and yet the fact the shows little signs of a beta going over to the side there for instance, or place this is, is like this a little further. this is the 4th operation this morning for her, the hutton, she specializes in female victims of genital mutilation. they come to the sun, danny women's shelter in a poor neighbourhood of north paris. most of them have had the glittering is circumcised as little girls. in some experienced pain during intercourse, and others complained that they feel no pleasure. they seek help from gynecologist

router hutton. they suffer both physically and psychologically, from the effects of the traditional ritual mutilation. she says, no, i the in dm all this morning and the woman came to me and told me how important this operation was for her sense of identity in her. she wanted to feel physically whole again that we didn't need to get back. what was taken from harvey or hill ma belgy had a hutton gives them back what she can, which dr. dr. our team many affected women from the african community trust, as doctor who immigrated from lebanon. female circumcision is prohibited in france even so there are on reported cases. but most of the women were circumcised in their home. countries in africa through among domains 26 year old hebrew on with this she fled her country g booty because of the suffering she endured as

a small child. and i'm a her all they woke me up the whole bus so i didn't know what was going on. i have they said come here. my mother held on to my hands and led them. and another woman held my feet open to the medicaid. alana thick with alacrity. this other one made several cuts either for his or her. fife. is that when she did? i just felt pains it a good over me. i didn't take any medication to ease the pain. young, poor boy b, i just suffered ela, a poor hale or so. ah, women and friends have formed an organization to support some 60000 girls who french government figures estimate have been affected. so they won't feel left alone with the shame and the pain. they're demanding that parents stop sending girls born in france to the countries of ethnic origin to be circumcised with war.

it's insane that after 5000 years, they're still doing it. even though everybody knows it's pointless that no religion demands it and it has extremely negative consequences. for their health and how do i agree that it's surreal? when's the mutilation is often done with nothing more than this? it's up to harder hut him to repair what she can of the damage in her operations of the shelter did that i need is a heap. i have to look for the remnant of the glitter is where it has retracted after the circumcision. to have me bring it back up and filter it back in place on the bodies exterior where it was before it was cut to the center. while it's medically the procedure is not that complicated. but culturally it is says, hotter hut, m, the families still regard female circumcision as an act of moral purity and quite
