End FGM, that is what all of us want. Today we are a step closer to End FGM with the case in the US, Detroit have charged a Dr. with cutting young girls.
Dr Nagarwala who worked in an emergency room as a doctor. The fact she has been charged with cutting young girls for the the last twelve years is very shocking.
If she is found guilty she risks going to prison for life. Dr Nagarwala is charged with three offences: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM); transportation with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and conspiracy; and making a false statement to an officer.
Today I spoke on BBC World news. and it highlights the case to End FGM.
Dr Nagarwala is reported to have cut two girls as young as seven years of age. She is alleged to have performed FGM in a medical office in Livonia, Michigan.
“According to the complaint, despite her oath to care for her patients, Dr. Nagarwala is alleged to have performed horrifying acts of brutality on the most vulnerable victims,” Acting Assistant Attorney General Blanco said in the announcement. “The Department of Justice is committed to stopping female genital mutilation in this country, and will use the full power of the law to ensure that no girls suffer such physical and emotional abuse.”
By visiting the Freedom charity website you can see that Freedom Charity offers training for professionals as well as students.
The Cut Flowers novel has PSHE accredited lesson plans on FGM. Hopefully within a generation will End FGM.

A piece of footage showed a Kurdish woman fighter’s braid being displayed as a trophy after her death. The article explains why that act is not “just war”, but deliberate humiliation aimed at policing women through shame. It then explains why braids carry cultural meaning in Kurdish life, why perpetrators stage degradation for propaganda, why this fits the wider pattern you call dishonour abuse, what international law says about humiliating and degrading treatment, and what a responsible response looks like without spreading the original harm.
A school gate does not look like violence until it becomes a judgment repeated for years. UNESCO says Afghanistan is now the only country in the world where secondary and higher education is strictly forbidden to girls and women.
