Female Genital Mutilation describes how the UK has no effective procedure either to identity girls 'at risk' or those who have been taken away to be circumcised. In addition, there is no blanket training, information, or guidance to health professionals, and few support mechanisms for girls who have suffered from their experience. Dr. Lockhat argues that there is a great opportunity for their work to be co-ordinated, for good practice to be shared, and a real difference to be made. From extensive interviews with circumcised women she details their experiences and recommends ways forward for all those who may be involved in their care.
