This is a poll to see how well informed you feel you are.
FGM links to midwifery for obvious reasons, its a womens issue ... womens health, pregnancy and birth. Some argue its a cultural issue and we westerners should not interfere. I feel differenty and feel that awareness must be raised.

Please list any links to sites, articles etc that you feel may help raise awareness among fellow members.
