A clear framework for tackling female genital mutilation
13 Jul 2011
It was refreshing to read the article by Hugh Muir on the approach to female genital mutilation in the UK (Hideously diverse Britain, 5 July). I have worked on FGM in Britain for around 30 years, helping to put it on the agenda, establishing an organisation that works with African communities, promoting education on the issue; and facilitating the setting-up of the first NHS clinic (at Northwick Park hospital) in 1992 to address some of the health complications.
