Almost all the cases of female genital mutilation conducted in the United Kingdom are performed under cover of giving clients legal “intimate” body piercings, records indicate.
Female genital mutilation is a savage practice that has no medical justification.
But those seeking the procedure are able to obtain the procedure just the same by classifyiing the horrific cutting as an “intimate” piercing.

Unbelievable.
The Daily Mail has more:
The Department of Health controversially decided all intimate piercings should be included in new statistics collected by the NHS to record cases of FGM.
But out of 5,391 newly recorded cases of FGM found by GPs and NHS trusts in the year to March 2017, only 57 were performed in the UK of which 50, or 87 per cent, were in the category for piercings, and all the women whose ages were known were over 18.
But campaigners argue the true picture is hidden as the practice and scale of the ‘child abuse’ remains out of sight from health professionals in the UK.
A spokesman for children’s charity the NSPCC said: ‘We know from calls to our dedicated helpline that female genital mutilation is still affecting hundreds of girls in the UK. For far too long female genital cutting has been cloaked in secrecy so the true picture of how many girls are affected is unknown.
‘We need more people in communities to join forces to ensure this dangerous and illegal practice is ended and urge young people and any adults worried about them, to speak out and get help.’
Last week the latest attempt to secure the first court conviction for FGM collapsed at Bristol Crown Court and questions are now being asked about the role of the senior police officer involved in the case.
The inquiry began when a 29-year-old Uber driver was said to have told a passenger and anti-FGM campaigner that his daughter had undergone the procedure. The conversation was reported to police and experts were sent to examine the driver’s daughters at their Bristol home.
Doctors found a small mark on the youngest girl but noted the seven-year-old – who denied being harmed – appeared happy and well looked after.
A decision was made to prosecute after an investigation led by Detective Chief Inspector Leanne Pook, the Avon and Somerset Police lead officer investigating cases of FGM.
Passenger Sami Ullah’s account of the taxi chat in March 2016 was branded inconsistent by the judge when the case came to court after two years.
Directing the jury to find the father not guilty of child cruelty, Judge Julian Lambert said: ‘There is no evidence put by the prosecution as to when or how any alleged mutilation is said to have taken place. The evidence in this case is deeply troubling.’
And now personal links between DCI Pook and Mr Ullah and his charity have added to concerns over the way the case was handled.
Campaigners have also accused prosecutors of wasting public money and have questioned why Avon and Somerset Police trusted Mr Ullah’s inconsistent evidence.
The Government has pledged £35million to eradicate FGM and in 2015 it was made a requirement for medical staff, teachers and social workers to report cases.
Last year, Eurostar passengers at London’s St Pancras were grilled by officials about where they had been in a bid to root out FGM offenders.
But the first attempt to bring charges – against London doctor Dhanuson Dharmasena – ended in farce as he was acquitted in only 25 minutes.

5391 reported cases last year alone, and despite being illegal for more than 30 years, still not one conviction. France has made hundreds of successful prosecutions. But political correctness, and policies of multiculturalism and “diversity” are so entrenched in Britain that the fear of offending the two “cultures” involved – Muslim and black African – apparently overrides any concern for the welfare of young girls. Shameful.

The DOH is propagandists and apologists for Islam’s perversities; shameless procurers or if preferred pimps for the Cult of Islam. This statement may dupe the mentally feeble Liberals, those in need of a proctologist and other gullible leftists; however, anyone with a smidgen of knowledge regarding Islam’s barbarous depravity, recognize it is shameless propaganda, a lie.
FGM is beyond barbarity, misogynism or perversity. Non-Muslims, so-called Feminists standing alongside or defend or excuse this repugnant mutilation are culpable, as well, ignoble human beings.

Islamic Female Genital Mutilation also can include removal.
The failure on behalf of feminist groups to devote adequate attention to the Muslim rape epidemic and Islamic Female Genital Mutilation unveils the true face of what characterizes third wave feminism – rampant hypocrisy and an agenda to downplay and dismiss genuine women’s rights issues that don’t fit into their warped paradigm …

Feminism isn’t about the rights of women and the Sierra Club is Not about the environment..
These are political platforms hijacked by the Alinsky Left.

United Kingdom .. One new female Genital Mutilation reported ‘every hour’ .
Plus the Islamic FGM that is not reported.

With regards to International Women’s Day:
The strange thing about the female snowflakes and far left wing feminists of the world, is that none of them are campaigning against FGM. Surely this is extreme abuse against women. Yet there have been no protests worldwide, nor arrests in the UK, commensurate with extent of this abuse – why not? But then in the UK thousands of our young girls (and boys) have also been raped and are still being raped with the authorities doing nothing for fear of being deemed ‘racists.’ FGS. When the women of the world start to campaign for the human rights of *all* women then I will support them.

Well said. But plenty of campaigning about sexual harassment, obviously not right, but with “celebrities” in particular jumping up and down with rage because a man allegedly flirted with them 30 years ago. That’s not to trivialise any unacceptable behaviour of men towards women – but where are the priorities of all these “snowflakes and feminists”?? What about campaigning against not only FGM, but honour killings, forced and child marriages, religion-sanctioned wife-beating?
But of course that wouldn’t be very “multicultural” or politically correct, and might even be considered “racist” or “Islamophobic”. And we can’t have that, can we?

Let’s cut to the chase here, a prick may be just a prick, but who was the judge and what was his or her remit, how tight was that drawn ?
The law in the UK has been brought so low because the parliamentarians who introduced the law in 1985 have refused to use it or allow anyone else to.
This is moral cowardice on the platinum scale, there has never been a consensus about enforcement.
When the act is performed overseas, the parents should have had it made clear to them before they left the UK that if when the child was examined at the airport upon return damage was found down there, the whole family would be forced out of the country with no appeal.
So once again, the Liberal weather cock has been swinging in the latest wind of change with no idea where it’s supposed to be pointing to. NEVER trust a feather brained liberal with power – it scares them witless.

britanistan is accepting all the tenets of sharia, slowly, when the entire nation if governed by sharia, the non muslim population will wonder how it happened, they suffer from the absurd delusion that by not bothering muslims, muslims will not bother them. So far they haven’t figured out how wrong they are.

Sorry, that is the government doing that. Many of us are aware, and many are too afraid to speak out because you lose your job, home, kids, and even liberty by being jailed.

Unfortunately, Emma (below) is right. We have tried changing governments over
and over, left wing, right wing, but the forces of multiculturalism are
so strong and the number of ethnic minorities so great that nothing
changes. Conservative governments like that of Theresa May should take a
tough line on the threat, but if anything they have been
worse. Now even the slightest criticism of ethnic minorities could see someone ending up in court.
Where do we go from here? Leaving the EU won’t help, if anything those countries are becoming stronger and more anti-immigration: for example Poland, Hungary, Austria, and now Italy. Even France and Germany are toughening up. On the referendum night here, I heard a Muslim leader say that many Muslims were voting LEAVE, as they believed the EU to be “anti-immigrant”, and that an independent Britain might treat them better and also be more willing to let their families in.

It would be very nice if the british voters came to their senses and voted for patriotic compotent politicians, rather than socialists who have mortgaged the future for politically correct multiculturalism today.

If the judges in these cases are female, then they should go and have an ‘intimate piercing’ just so they can rule on how wonderful it is… They should do in the interests of diversity and inclusiveness that they rule in their courts the rest of us should be okay with.

the so called women’s marches and rallies are crap. they are created by cockroaches like linda sarsour and her ilk that suppot the vomit spewing rabid dog anti semite, farrakhan. all of a piece. virulent Jew haters attracting ignorant stupid women with no knowledge of anything apart from what they suck up from these enemies of the state. a hanging should be well attended. not these fake ralllies over nothing at all when so much evil criminal acts are carried out by the deranged moslem cultists. stabbing and cutting and killing is all these savages know.
