5 live Daily was given exclusive access to a clinic helping children who have suffered a female genital mutilation. Next week, a new law relating to FGM comes in, which will affect teachers, doctors and nurses. They will have to tell police if they have seen or been told that a girl under 18 has been subjected to it. FGM survivor Hibo Wadere visited the clinic to find out more about their work. Hibo suffered extreme pain throughout her assault as she describes being held down by strangers: "It felt like the they were removing my legs from my sockets.鈥� Reliving what happened that day, she admits that she was shocked by her mother's reaction 鈥淚 remember looking at my mum with a really tense face, my eyes just flickering, looking for approval and all she could tell me was relax Hibo it's fine, it's fine鈥�.
