The Government should ensure that all FGM Support Clinics offer specialist counselling support to FGM survivors in appropriate settings, provided by counsellors who are trained in the specific challenges of FGM. There should be clear referral pathways to this counselling for women who access FGM services through Women’s Health Hubs. (Recommendation, Paragraph 28)
