Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the Government's strategy for ending female genital mutilation.
This question was answered on 9th February 2015
Female genital mutilation is a crime and it is child abuse. This Government is determined to stamp it out.
At last year’s Girl Summit we announced an unprecedented package of measures to tackle it.
We have made real progress through strengthening the law to offer victims greater protection, consulting on mandatory reporting, establishing a cross-Government FGM unit, and delivering tailored resources for professionals and communities.
