Our organisation, with its consultative\u00a0 status with the United Nations, is using 6<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0February, the International Day of Zero Tolerance of Female Genital Mutilation to raise awareness of the practice, which has been illegal in this country for more than\u00a0 27 years.<br \/>\nPeople in the medical profession are uniquely placed to see the evidence of this unlawful practice and, with the consent of the patient, help to make the practice, with its dangers to life and health more widely known; to raise awareness of the dangers to a woman\u2019s health in childbirth and to make the practice totally unacceptable in a civilised society<br \/>\nWe welcome the news, reported in the Times on Saturday 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0February about NHS staff reporting FGM and hope that the new regulations will \u00a0make it easier for this illegal matter to be \u00a0addressed without any fear of reporting being challenged on the grounds of racism cultural insensitive. The NSPCC, with support from the Metropolitan Police, launched a 24-hour FGM Helpline in June 2013. Anyone\u00a0worried about a child at risk of, or having been a victim of FGM can ring 0800 028 3550, email them at fgmhelp@nspcc.org.uk or visit their website.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for taking the trouble to read this letter and if you need any more information please contact S.
