I am a Canadian journalist specializing in challenging social issues, which I have written about for almost 30 years. I am presently working on a book called Burnished Gold: Stories from around the world on healing from major trauma. My other books include subjects such as healing from sexual child abuse and incest, physician-patient abuse, and parent-child abduction.
My current work will include a chapter on FGM. I will be travelling to other parts of the world where it is practiced and therefore want to find out all I can about the subject. It is also a subject that people do not want to talk about (of course!) or the other reaction seems to be–Oh, that’s only in parts of Africa.
It’s the same argument that I heard when I wrote about incest. I was one of the first in Canada to do so, and the first to articulate and write about the healing process.
Thank you for your consideration.

I am a Clinincal Psychologist, I work in the area of Mental Health within Psychiatry. I have been qualified for 13years. My interest in FGM has been sparked by the fact that I have to led a CPD session for colleugues and following reading about the issue I have decided to educate my peers about the practice of FGM. The aftermath is no something we on the East Coast of Scotland have to deal with very often, but my concern is that, that does not mean it does not exist, obviously, & I am concerned that we may be doing our patients a dis-service by being ignorant of the issues surrounding FGM. Hence my training session.
I have writtten a power point presentation but thought some of the dvd footage my aid the dissemination of the issues.
Thank you for your consideration.
