Paul MossAvailable for over a year
It's an accepted practice in parts of Africa and the Middle East, but the long term impact of genital mutilation affects African women here in the UK too – and is prompting debate among the Bristol-based African community. A group called WISE (Women In Serious Endeavours), is holding workshops in the city, to educate about the issues. In this discussion, BBC Gloucestershire reporter Kevin Philemon speaks to some of the facilitators.
