| Partner agencies in Warwickshire are standing in solidarity to reinforce International Day of Zero Tolerance For Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), which took place on Sunday 6 February 2022.
It is thought that around 130 million girls across the world (60,000 in the UK*) are exposed to FGM, which is condemned by many countries as a human rights violation. Many young girls will often experience intense pain for months after the procedure and ultimately, they will live with long suffering injuries well into their adult life.
Residents are being urged to treat FGM like any other form of abuse and as such, to report anything suspicious to the Police by calling 101. |
