Britain Mutilation Law

FILE - In is Monday, July 7, 2014 file photo, a British police officer arrests an activist from FEMEN group as she shouts slogans against female genital mutilation during a protest opposite the Houses of Parliament in central London. A new law requiring professionals to report cases of female genital mutilation to police for those under 18 is being introduced in England and Wales, but some opponents of the practice warn the law could make girls reluctant to seek medical care. The law taking effect Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015 makes it a crime not to notify police when health care workers, social workers or teachers see someone under 18 who has had their genitals removed or damaged for non-medical reasons.
