Paul Moss

Available for over a year

It's an accepted practice in parts of Africa and the Middle East, but the long term impact of genital mutilation affects African women here in the UK too – and is prompting debate among the Bristol-based African community. A group called WISE (Women In Serious Endeavours), is holding workshops in the city, to educate about the issues. In this discussion, Âé¶¹Éç Gloucestershire reporter Kevin Philemon speaks to some of the facilitators.
