One Step Forward : Anti-FGM Activist Nimco Ali Wants To End The Practice By 2030

Nimco Ali told her teacher when she was seven years old that she had been subjected to female genital mutilation. The teacher did nothing. Now FGM has been added to the The Children Act, due in large part to Ali’s activism. The addition makes it easier for teachers, nurses and other workers to report if they are worried that a child they’re in contact with may be subject to FGM, or has had it done.
