Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)

Yellow flower in hands
Our clinic is the first of it's kind in London and we have been caring for women for over 20 years. We see women who are affected by Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) who are 18 years old and above, including both pregnant and non-pregnant women.
 
We offer a range of FGM support such as advice, counselling, sexual health services, deinfibulation (reversal of FGM) and care throughout pregnancy and after birth. We can also diagnose types of FGM and have staff that are Somali and Arabic speaking.
 
You can self-refer through our self-referral form or get a referral through your GP. We aim to see you within 2 weeks of referral.

Opening hours

Wednesdays and Thursdays between 8am - 6pm.
 
We can arrange alternative appointments on a case-by-case basis. Home visits can be arranged for women who live in Haringey and Islington.
