A MAN has been barred from taking his six-year-old daughter abroad over fears that she might be at risk of female genital mutilation (FGM).
High Court judge Ms Justice Russell made the written ruling yesterday after being told that the girl's father came from Guinea, west Africa, where the practice of FGM was “widespread.”
The judge concluded that the man would face pressure to have his daughter mutilated if he took her to Guinea, so she imposed an FGM protection order.
