July 2015. In the UK, the practice of FGM is well established. Over 1,700 victims have been referred to specialist clinics in the past 2 years. The victim is when a girl is aged 5 to 8 years of age! The NSPCC has responded to over 700 contacts since June 2013. It’s thought that 23,000 girls under 15 could be at risk and nearly 60,000 women could be living with the consequences. Culture is good to hold on to, but when it’s barbaric, stop it.
