My stance in this thread was to try and state facts without emotion and never, anywhere, did I imply that FGM was acceptable.
I would now like to make it clear that I strongly feel, and have always felt, FGM is a form of child abuse and can cause long term suffering to girls and women.
The lack of FGM convictions (until recently) has highlighted the UK law has a weakness in this area which makes it easy for those involved in this practice in the UK to evade being brought to justice.
However, some misunderstanding has led to a serious error of judgement and the sword of Damocles is now forever hovering. I apologise for any misunderstanding and shall refrain from posting in this sub-forum, or indeed GC, to ensure no further misunderstanding is likely take place.
All the best. |
