However, I am extremely glad David Cameron as shone some light on FGM at a global summit today in London.
FGM; female genital mutilation - "all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons." - World Health Organisation.
The cultural ritual is performed in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, by different ethnic groups.
Prime minister David Cameron said he wants to stop FGM and childhood forced marriages within this generation. A range of measures have been put in place to tackle the issues in England and Wales.
It disgusts me that such rituals are being performed in this time. Taking free will and choice away from innocent young girls is inexcusable. I can only hope that every adult or person that chooses to do such horrible things to young girls faces prosecution or worse.
