Advice for girls and young women

If you are in the UK and are worried that FGM may happen to you or someone that you know, you can speak to a teacher, doctor, school nurse, social worker, police officer or any health, educational or social care professional. They will be able to help and support you. If it is an urgent situation then call 999 and ask for the police.
You could also call the NSPCC on 0800 028 3550.  This is a 24-hour free helpline for anyone concerned about girls or women at risk of FGM. Or you could contact Childline on the free phone number 0800 1111 or get in touch online.

If you are abroad and need help or advice about FGM then call the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on +44 (0) 207007 1500 or contact the British High Commission or Embassy in the country you are visiting.
