Post Female Genital Mutilation do you know enough?

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.

Some of you will care for women who have experienced FGM and this can greatly affect their experience of childbirth.

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

Ive just written a glossary definition with attached picture of types of FGM. I hope you find this informative.
