Have
you ever wondered why, with FGM having been so much in the limelight in the
last 5 years, there have not been any prosecutions in Britain
A
conversation I had recently with somebody I know in the anti FGM sisterhood
ended in disappointment. She clearly thinks that because so much attention has
been paid to FGM in the news of late, there is no longer any need to do
anything. WRONG! Actually now is when we need to do more. Since there has been
more awareness raised, more and more people who believe in this practice will
now go underground. It has been known throughout history that people engaged in
whatever practise will try to find a way of acting in secret if they are forced
to do so by legislation. So let’s be vigilant and not fool ourselves into
believing that the work has been done.
Remember
this is not the first time FGM awareness has been raised.
