Axmed nasir on July 31, 2008, 2:26 am Sections COPS rescued 45 British Somalian girls from horrific African tribal abuse in the past year, it has been revealed. Kids as young as four have had their genitals sewn up because parents believe it will protect their virginity until marriage. The practice is popular in many African countries but banned in the UK. Scotland Yard believes that 6,500 girls in London are at risk. Ages of victims rescued range from a few days old to 16. The total saved by the Met’s Project Azure is up ELEVEN-FOLD on 2007. waryaa_2_400_02 Police received tip-offs that they were due to be sent abroad or have grisly ops in backstreet clinics. The mutilation is usually carried out when girls are between four and six. The horrific procedure is done without consent and sometimes with no anaesthetic. During the summer holidays, girls are duped out of Britain to attend “a special ceremony”. Somali girlsAnyone caught arranging female genital mutilation here faces a maximum 14-year prison term. More than two million girls around the world suffer the ordeal each year. One victim – Hoda, 30, of London – was mutilated in Somalia when she was six. She told The Sun: “Parents have it done as they want their daughters to stay virgins until they are married. “But I will live with the pain for the rest of my life.” A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “Whatever people’s traditional beliefs, this is child abuse in one of its most severe forms.” Crime writer Ruth Rendell today joins Project Azure to highlight the issue. Anyone who believes a child may be in danger should call Project Azure’s hotline on 020 7161 2888. The sun UK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
