Her words were that “FGM did not exist in Diaspora communities” she accused us of being ignorant about FGM. Also she rejected that FGM took place in other countries, stating that it was only perpetrated in very few African countries. It was her opinion that charities that had been set up to provide support and information to victims were in it for their own monetary and populist gain and that it gave a negative view of Africans in general.
Having attempted several times to broaden the issue using statistics from( WHO) the ( NHS) etc, she continued to deny that FGM existed.
It beggars the question if a young African, or any other child at risk of FGM asked her for assistance or protection would it be forthcoming?
