2 Learning Outcomes Definition Types of FGM How and why is FGM performed Global and UK Data Guidance/Legislation Duty to report
3 Definition Female genital mutilation comprises all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It has no health benefits and harms girls and women in many ways WHO 2015
4 Four Main Types It can be classified into four main types: Type 1: Clitoridectomy - Partial or total removal of the clitoris. Type 2: Excision - Partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora with or without excision of the labia majora. Type 3: Infibulation (the most widely practiced) - Narrowing of the vaginal opening through the creation of a covering seal, which is formed by cutting and repositioning the inner or outer labia with or without the removal of the clitoris. Nothing remains, but the walls of flesh from the pubis down to the anus, except for a small opening to allow urine and menstrual flow to pass through; this is known as pharonic circumcision. Type 4: Pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterizing the genital area.

6 Types of FGM Type i Clitoridectomy Partial or total removal of the clitoris and sometimes the prepuce (the fold of skin surrounding the clitoris). This practice is extremely painful and distressing, damages sexually sensitive skin & is an infection risk.
7 Types of FGM Type 2 Excision Excision: partial or total removal of the Clitoris and the labia minora, with or without excision of the labia majora (the labia are the lips that surround the vagina).
8 Types of FGM Type 3 Infibulation Infibulation: narrowing of the vaginal opening through the creation of a covering seal. The seal is formed by cutting and repositioning the inner and sometimes outer labia, with or without removal of the clitoris.
9 Types of FGM Type 4: Other All other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for nonmedical purposes. Such as: pricking, piercing, incising, and cauterization, packing with herbs, etc. Pulling and stretching the labia and clitoris. Damage during sexual violence or abuse?
10 It is commonly performed between the ages of 4 and 8 but can take place from infancy to adolescence. It is often performed by people who have no medical training and who use no anaesthetic or proper medical instruments. The procedure can lead to death through shock of excessive bleeding. Failure to use sterile medical instruments can lead to infections. It is commonly performed between the ages of 4 and 8 but can take place from infancy to adolescence.
11 Short term complications Haemorrhage Severe pain and shock Urine Retention Injury to adjacent tissue Tetanus Fracture or dislocation limbs as a result of being restrained The procedure can result in death through severe bleeding leading to haemorrhagic shock, neurogenic shock as a result of pain and trauma, and overwhelming infection and septicaemia
12 Long term complications Difficulty passing urine and chronic urinary tract infection. Possible renal failure. Difficulties with menstruation and painful periods. Possible hysterectomy. Sexual dysfunction & lack of sexual pleasure Acute and chronic pelvic infections which can lead to Infertility HIV, Hep C/B
13 Obstetric complications May not be identified antenatally Difficulty with vaginal examination Scarring & stricture of vaginal canal Possible obstructed labour Psychological Trauma, Flash backs Increased risk of C/S, PPH, foetal asphyxia/anoxia Perineal trauma/tears
14 Psychological and Mental Health FGM is extremely traumatic & can have lifelong consequences for mental health. Young women report feelings of betrayal by parents, incompleteness, regret and anger. Can cause mental health problems, drug and alcohol dependency. Research in African communities show women who have had FGM have the same level of PTSD as adults who were subjected to other forms of abuse in childhood. The fact that FGM is embedded in culture does not protect from developing PTSD
15 NSPCC Ending FGM
16 Some countries where female circumcision is practiced: Sudan (91%, Types 1, 2 and 3) Somalia (95%, Types 1 and 3) Sierra Leone (90%, Type 2) Kenya (50%, Types 1, 2 and 3) Guinea (98.6%, Types 1, 2 and 3) Gambia (80-90%, Types 1, 2 and 3) Ethiopia ( %, Types 1, 2 and 3) Egypt (78-97%, Types 1, 2 and 3) Djibouti (90-98%, Types 2 and 3)
17 Global Data UNICEF estimates 200 million girls and women have experienced FGM in 29 countries in Africa Asia and the Middle East 30 million girls are at risk in the next decade Most girls are cut before the age of 15 with the majority being between 4 and 14 years old 500,000 women and girls living in Europe have undergone FGM and 180,000 girls at risk FGM practiced at all educational levels and in all social classes and is closely associated with ethnicity rather than religion (UNICEF 2013, European Institute For Gender Equality) 2013
18 UK Data 60,000 girls aged 0-14 were born in England and Wales to mothers who had undergone FGM Approximately 103,000 women aged and approximately 24,000 women aged 50 and over who have migrated to England and Wales are living with the consequences of FGM In addition, approximately 10,000 girls aged under 15 who have migrated to England and Wales are likely to have undergone FGM (City University & Equality Now, 2007 revised 2014)

25 Examples of questions to help you decide if a child is at risk of FGM Parents or child are discussing going abroad for a prolonged period Family not engaging with health services Girl not allowed to attend PHSE lessons Girl confides that she is to have a special coming-of-age party/ceremony A sister or other female relative is found to have had FGM Family already known to social care
