Disgusting practice and anyone who carries it out or subjects their kids to it is a savage and should be prosecuted. 6000 cases in Ireland. And that’s just the ones we know about.https://twitter.com/GSpellchecker/status/1046690785368973312 …
It is criminalised. It has been a crime since the passage of the FGM act 2012, I criticised Ali Selim for arguing female 'circumcision' should be legal. But community based interventions work and are happening. Which I think is a good thing, knowledge of which should be promoted.

I’m aware that it’s a criminal offence, as is removing a child from the jurisdiction to facilitate it. And yes, were agreed on interventions etc. I’m just deeply suspicious of any moves towards whitewashing it or excusing it on cultural, or any, grounds.
@DrAliselim is a disgrace -
You are also aware there is an ongoing prosecution of two parents? That when cases are brought to light they are prosecuted?

Go and patronise someone else. You’re an obnoxious troll. OF COURSE I’m aware of that. I’m a criminal lawyer. It’s an absolute travesty that there’s only been ONE out of a potential 6000.
