On a serious note, according to Gov.uk (2014), an estimated 137,000 girls have undergone FGM in the UK, with a further 60,000 at risk. Obviously these figures will be conservative and the true figure will be more. In my opinion this evil practice is shrugged under the carpet for political reasons, just like underage abortions are. Safeguarding? Pah, what a joke.
I've never come across any cases myself, but any woman/girl whose been subjected to this has my sympathies.
