Female Genital Mutilation of Young Girls is Child Abuse
This poster was designed to spread the word that FGM is illegal in the UK. The poster says that it is also an offence for UK nationals or permanent UK residents to carry out FGM abroad or to assist the carrying out of FGM abroad. It explains that no religious doctrine supports FGM, and that FGM has serious long-term health consequences for the girls and woman affected.
