I think Mumsnet should mount a campaign against female genital mutilation.
This is not just a barbaric third world practice, it is happening now in the UK and on a large scale.
Mumsnet could force it into the open and into the newspapers.
Freedom of Information requests to all police forces on how many arrests and prosecutions they have made would reveal their lack of action on this, even though it is a criminal offence to do it here or take a girl abroad to have it done.
Ask Royal College of Midwives and the health visitors associations what they are doing to educate mothers from the respective cultures and spot danger signs that a girl is at risk?
Social services should also be involved when a girl is at risk.
