FGM stands for Female Genital Mutilation. It is a procedure where the female genitals are deliberately cut, injured or changed, but there is no medical reason for this to be done. It can cause damage and emotional distress.

FGM is carried out for a number of cultural, religious and social reasons. Some families and communities believe that FGM will benefit the girl in some way, such as preparing them for marriage or childbirth.

FGM is a form of abuse, and it is illegal in the UK. If you or someone you know if worries about FGM, you can get help and support.
