Reblogged from Hilary Burrage:
There is currently very serious concern in the UK about the increasing numbers of small girls - estimated to be over 20,000 annually - who are at risk of FGM (female genital mutilation). This is indisputably a matter of child abuse; discussion and news on action about #NoFGM in the UK can be found on this website here. But many maintain that male circumcision is also child abuse and should be banned in the UK.
