I know this is a really old episode but wow Ash was an arsehole in this episode. I work in a school and maybe things have changed since this episode but if we suspect Fgm we have to get people involved
The whole story is unrealistic based on FGM propaganda. No girl or women has ever been admitted to a hospital in life threatening condition due to having been cut unlike boys who regularly are, some of whom haven't made it. This is the fourth birth for the mother so the implication is that she was reinfibulated after each delivery with traditional midwife care and yet this time the infibulation is the cause of an emergency. This exclusive focus on the cutting of girls despite little evidence of it being a significant problem in the UK distracts fromn the very real problem of the cutting of boys. The whole distortion of the issue of cutting whereby that of boys is not only condoned but practiced by the NHS for taxpayers money, sends a very clear message to boys that their genitals are nothing like as worthy as that of their sisters. Nothing could engender misogyny more than such utterly foul discrimination, but this is a price UK cutting culture is obviously prepared to pay.
