question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to protect British girls in the Dawoodi Bohra community from female genital mutilation, in the light of the sermon by Supreme Leader Mufaddal Saifuddin on 25 April urging that all girls must undergo that procedure.
tabling member printed	Lord Lester of Herne Hill
uin	HL312
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2016 answer text <p>Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a crime and it is child abuse. We will not tolerate a practice that can cause extreme and lifelong physical and psychological suffering to women and girls.</p><p>We will not stop FGM until we have changed attitudes within communities. The Government works closely with a range of community and faith groups, including Muslim women's groups, to tackle FGM. Over 350 faith leaders from all the major faiths have signed a declaration condemning FGM. They have declared that it is not required by their religions and is a form of child abuse. The declaration makes clear that all religions will work together to end FGM for good. We continue to work with community organisations and survivors through the Governments FGM Unit's stakeholder group and outreach programme to drive this work forward.</p><p>In 2014 the Government ran a national communications campaign to raise awareness. We also funded 29 community engagement projects, including a network of community champions, who are reaching thousands of women and girls affected by FGM, and, importantly, their families. The work of these projects has included training for teachers, awareness sessions in local mosques, and the establishment of a new national website for, and by, young people giving information about how to prevent FGM. The Department for Communities and Local Government has established a network of community champions which is operating in London, Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham. Champions are working with local people to address the myths that sustain FGM and to help keep girls safe.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 07/06/2016 10:50:04 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Baroness Liddell of Coatdyke
uin	HL337
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2016 answer text <p>This Government is clear that more must be done not only to disrupt and prosecute criminals but also to protect people and businesses from becoming victims of fraud. In February this year the Government launched the Joint Fraud Taskforce a genuine collaboration of banks, law enforcement and government. It is the first time these organisations have come together to tackle fraud, and particularly to focus on those issues that have been considered too difficult for a single organisation to manage alone. The Taskforce has five work strands which are:</p><p>- Understanding the Threat - Bringing together data to agree key threats, vulnerabilities and drivers of fraud;</p><p>- The Collective Response - Better targeting to disrupt and catch fraudsters, through increased cooperation between banks and law enforcement;</p><p>- Victims &amp; Vulnerability - More efficient identification of victims, including addressing the barriers preventing return of funds to victims;</p><p>- Behaviour Change - better targeted messaging on fraud prevention and,</p><p>- Tackling systemic vulnerabilities - Designing out vulnerabilities and loopholes in systems and processes which fraudsters exploit.</p><p>The Government has also published in March this year &quot;A Guide for Consumers: Staying Safe When You Shop and Bank Online.&quot; The report draws on real life, anonymised examples of reported crimes and provides simple but effective advice on how the people can protect themselves from these types of frauds: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-guide-for-consumers-staying-safe-when-you-bank-or-shop-online</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 07/06/2016 10:50:30 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon attachment 1 file name A_guide_for_consumers_220316_web_version_FINAL.pdf title A Guide for Consumers: Staying Safe When You Shop
