Women who have experienced FGM can access a range of support including emotional support and counselling, deinfibulation (surgery to open to vagina in cases where type 3 FGM has taken place) and general information through National FGM Support Clinics. Walk in appointments are available, but the NHS strongly advise women to seek referrals through GP’s and health professionals. You can find a list of services available across the UK (including Manchester) through the FGM Network
