We await a response from the CPS in relation to our request for a review of their recent woeful response to our FoI request concerning MGM.

No laws permit the non-therapeutic genital mutilation of male minors, so why don’t the police press charges against practitioners of the operations, given they inflict bodily harm (actual or grievous)? It’s a question we’ve posed in our new public challenge of Theresa May MP, Home Secretary, at the same time calling for the government to make non-therapeutic genital mutilation of male minors illegal in the current parliamentary term (i.e. before May 2020). We included with our letter William Collins’s recent article on MGM.
