What are the police doing to combat FGM?

At the age of 11, Sarian Karim Kamara became a victim of FGM.

She says she was initially excited to take part in the “Bondo” ritual in her homeland of Sierra Leone, where FGM is viewed as a young girl’s initiation into womanhood.

But the 36-year-old mother of five, who now lives in Peckham, south east London, said she was “naive” and was left with complications in later life while giving birth.
