Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
FGM is a very upsetting and distressing experience and it’s important to remember that it’s wrong and you don’t need to suffer alone.
FGM happens when a girl’s private parts are removed or altered. FGM is abuse, and it’s illegal in the UK. If you or someone you know is worried about FGM, you can talk to Childline. Our counsellors are here to support you.
