A recently married woman revealed to me, in my capacity as a social worker, that sexual intercourse with her husband is painful for her.

I am a childcare professional at a preschool who is concerned that one of the girls might be the subject of female genital cutting during the summer holiday.

As the form teacher of Y. (15 yrs), I am concerned. She tends to be absent once a month, dislikes taking part in PE and has fainted twice during lessons.

In my capacity as a social worker, I work with a family that is under official investigation to determine whether their six-year-old daughter is in imminent danger of undergoing genital cutting. I’ve just learned that the mother plans to travel abroad with her daughter in the next few days.

I am uncertain and do not know whether or how I should broach the subject of female genital cutting (FGM/C) in my capacity as a professional.

I teach integration courses for refugee women. Many women who may have undergone FGM/C attend these courses.

I work in the field of HIV/STI prevention and regularly come into contact with men from communities that practise FGM/C.
