GETTING URGENT PROTECTION FROM FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION (FGM)
If you or someone you know is at risk of FGM, call the emergency services or contact MI Banks Solicitors for legal action. Female genital mutilation is the deliberate disfigurement of the female genital organs, resulting in severe physical, emotional, and psychological consequences – with zero medical benefits. Those found guilty of FGM can face a 14-year prison sentence in the UK.
At MI Banks Solicitors, our team will help you apply for an FGM protection order, whether you or someone you care about is at risk or is a victim of the procedure. If you need help quickly, we’ll ask the court to consider the application straightaway and without the presence of the respondents (the person(s) alleged to be arranging the procedure). Contact us immediately to apply for protection.

PROVIDING EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FGM PROTECTION ORDERS
How can a Female Genital Mutilation Protection Order (FGMPO) help? In the UK, these court orders prohibit individuals from carrying out FGM, arranging or encouraging the procedure, taking the (potential) victim out of the country, and threatening or pressuring someone to agree to FGM. If you’ve undergone FGM, these orders can include provisions to prevent contact with the perpetrator and can ensure you receive appropriate medical, psychological, and social support services. Remember, you don’t have to be at risk to apply for an FGMPO; any person, such as family members, friends, work colleagues, or relevant authorities can apply on behalf of the victim. Get in touch with MI Banks Solicitors today for further information.
