Female Genital Mutilation


The NSPCC should be congratulated for launching a helpline to help protect girls from female genital mutilation (FMG). http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2013/jun/24/nspcc-helpline-girls-female-genital-mutilation

The helpline will not only be of great value to victims and those trying to help and protect them, but it should be a valuable source of learning about the nature and extent of the problem, which has until now remained largely hidden from view.

I hope the NSPCC will be able to make this learning available to others so that awareness and understanding grows.
