The British Government
Some 10,000 young girls needed medical treatment in 2014 for infection caused by illegal clitoris amputations in the UK. Probably only representative of some 10% of surgical operations carried out. Under aged girls are the legal responsibility of their parents and parental consent for FGM is necessary. However, even though the authorities know who the culpable criminals are they are never convicted, charged or even arrested for their offence.
