Lucy Adams investigates how to protect young girls from female genital mutilation.

Lucy Adams investigates female genital mutilation, hearing from women who were cut as children, about daughters at risk, and why there have been no prosecutions in Scotland.

How can we protect young girls from a practice as old as the Pharaohs? This month The Investigation asks why in 30 years of legislation, no one has been prosecuted for Female Genital Mutilation.

Reporter Lucy Adams hears the stories of the women whose lives have been devastated because they were cut as children, the daughters at risk, and where the practice continues to take place.
