Recommendation 30
30
FGM Protection Order usage remains low despite their effectiveness and high risk of FGM.
Conclusion
FGM Protection Orders (FGMPOs) can be an effective way of supporting FGM survivors and preventing FGM. Although the data on FGM protection orders is incomplete, the number of FGMPOs appears low, especially when compared to estimations of the number of girls at risk of FGM in the UK. (Conclusion, Paragraph 88)
