We have trawled through literally hundreds of websites and online publications to put this list together. While it may not be definitive by any stretch of the imagination, we have just included those links which we found useful - and active - in fighting against FGM.
If you have any links which may add positively to this list, and which contain added facts or information that is not included on the websites above, please do drop us an email, and we will check them out.
