answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2019 answer text <p>Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a crime and it is child abuse. The Government is clear that we will not tolerate a practice that can cause extreme and lifelong suffering to women and girls.</p><p>The Home Office does not collate information on investigations, arrests and prosecutions centrally. Information on FGM referrals from the police to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) from 2010-18 is available in the CPS’s Violence Against Women and Girls Report, available at <a href="https://www.cps.gov.uk/publication/violence-against-women-and-girls" target="_blank">https://www.cps.gov.uk/publication/violence-against-women-and-girls</a></p><p>The Serious Crime Act 2015 introduced a number of measures to help overcome the barriers to prosecution, including: a new mandatory reporting duty for known cases of FGM in under-18s; extension of extra-territorial jurisdiction over FGM offences committed abroad; lifelong anonymity for victims; FGM Protection Orders (FGMPOs); and a new offence of failure to protect a girl from the risk of FGM. Between their introduction and 30 September 2018, 296 FGMPOs were made to protect victims and those at risk.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 18/02/2019 16:00:53 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
