About 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM). Furthermore 3 million girls are at risk of undergoing FGM. The majority of girls are cut before they turn 15 years old. Although less often, cases of FGM are still being reported in the UK. Join our experts on 5/12/20 at 17.30 (UK): Dr Rushamba, Sister Zuhra and Rhobi who will discuss Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), its prevention and support available in the UK and Tanzania.
