I am proud to join other campaigners to demand that the world fully condemns Hamas
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.'
