This is a story from an African community. However, despite using an African family as an example-we all know that FGM is a bigger problem in Muslim communities. So sue me!
All cultures are equal, blah blah whatever.
Anyway, apparently the UK is a glorious place with wonderful curry restaurants and no problems of cultural disintegration, etc..
If that is the case-why on earth should an 11 year old be begging for help to ensure that her vagina is not mutilated by her loving, adoring family?
