      What exactly is the “age appropriate way” for my 12yr old daughter to be told how we’ve imported the barbaric medieval practice of cutting off a girl’s clitoris & sewing her vagina shut so her future husband can be sure he’s marrying a virgin?

      From wider reading, I think the aim is to tackle this from angle that educates young girls on right/wrong, feeling empowered enough to speak out when they are potentially being abused or violated and red flags or signs to look out for. I don’t think they cover “A History Of...”

      And roughly how many girls in this country do you think are at risk of FGM? This is a practice carried out in a small number of communities. It is THEY who need to be educated, not every child in this country.

      Ever heard of public awareness? By raising knowledge of FGM to all communities you're increasing the likelihood of it reaching the community who needs it most.

      Nonsense. This abuse requires targeted education and warnings to the people who actually do this. A small minority.

          It’s patently not nonsense. The more people are informed about something the more they will talk about it. The more they talk about it, the more people will hear. It’s kind of common sense. You may not want your daughter to hear about it but that doesn’t make his point “nonsense”

          No it patently is nonsense because in tteaching everyone about it in this manner, as if more than a few are ever likely to encounter it, it's an attempt to dilute responsibility rather than be seen to target exactly whom they ought to be targeting.

          If I tell all children in the classroom that they need to go to a certain room when the tornado siren wails I'm not diluting responsibility, I'm increasing the likelihood that the correct action will be taken and lives will be saved. Same thing goes for fgm convos.

          Nah. A tornado is indiscriminate. FGM doesn't just happen to people. It's targeted. A Christian or secular humanist girl born to an indigenous British family is extremely unlikely to be at risk of someone mutilating her vulva clitoris.

          But that Christian or secular humanist (?!?!) girl may befriend a girl who is at risk, has a chat with her who grows up now understanding it's wrong. Again, targeted education isn't mutually exclusive and we're currently ignoring the targeted hard work done by FGM charities.

          The two aren't mutually exclusive. By educating white girls you're giving them the means to look out for their black friends. It's really that simple.

          Exactly. The authorities are too scared to target those particular 'communities' for fear of being branded racist etc. So instead, the whole bloody country has to be 'enlightened' in their cosy little ways.

          Trevor, how do you plan on funding these “well funded” investigations when the current state of the NHS means they rely on donations of things such as shower gel in order to treat patients. Or is it with more of that cash we’ll save when we get out of the EU?

          One way is to stop using resources on pursuing ‘hurty feelings’ so called crimes and use for real crimes. Met police alone have 900 officers on internet duty searching for ‘hate’ messages.

          You're angry that 900 officers are being used in this way, and not angry at a Government who since 2010, have cut Police budgets by 19% which led to 21,000 fewer officers? Makes sense.

          Kindly point me to exactly where either of us have said that. What we're disagreeing with is how Julia has turned this in to a binary issue that educating *everybody* is somehow bad when she thinks it needs targeted education (which is already happening if she bothered to check)

          I clearly stated in conversation with you and others that it’s so important and the reason it should be tackled from multiple angles is because it’s not just about those at risk but raising flags about classmates and friends who may be victims.
