The UK has made great strides in eradicating the risk of female genital mutilation (FGM) being carried out on girls living in this country, experts said on Tuesday.
Speaking on the UN's International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, he credited the child protection measures, stronger laws and policies activists have worked hard to get in place.
Although the picture is very different globally (FGM is still practised in 31 countries), the focus for girls and women living in the UK is now shifting to providing better care for the estimated 170,000 survivors living here.
