British TV Drama to Feature Female Genital Mutilation Storyline

The Call the Midwife drama series is set to feature female genital mutilation in a storyline about a pregnant Somali woman living in east London in the 1960s. Campaigners against female genital mutilation have welcomed the news, saying the mainstream show would help boost awareness of the widely condemned practice which has long been shrouded in secrecy.
