LONDON, Mar 27 (IPS) - Earlier this month, a UNICEF report on the prevalence of female genital mutilation (FGM) showed that while some success is taking place, the pace of progress remains slow - lagging behind population growth, especially in places where FGM is most common.

Over 230 million women and girls have undergone female genital mutilation, most of whom live in Africa, according to a report issued on Friday by the United Nations children's agency.

Last week a woman was found guilty of taking a three-year-old British child to Kenya for female genital mutilation (FGM). This landmark conviction, the first of its kind under the Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003, shows what risks British girls face. This is something I fought hard for because I underwent FGM abroad at the age of seven, so I know this girl’s pain.

A court heard the girl cried for the “whole night” after the procedure

Hibo Wardere (pictured), 54, co-founder of the charity Educate not Mutilate, which hopes to eradicate FGM in the UK, said: The conviction is amazing and a game changer.
