Female genital mutilation Resources

22 May 2015

Working towards an end to Female genital mutilation (FGM).

FGM is a violent and damaging ritual, which, although illegal in the UK, remains a major challenge for healthcare professionals. This is in part due to the multicultural nature of our contemporary society and greater emphasis and commitment by women and professionals including the police, health and social care and government to eradicate it (Royal College of Midwives [RCM] et al, 2013).
