Petition Action

Introduce FGM reconstruction surgery and psychosexual support within the NHS.

Petition Details

For the UK Parliament to integrate FGM reconstruction surgery and psychosexual support into the NHS, leveraging its capacity for similar complex procedures. This aims to address the long-neglected needs of FGM survivors, restoring their physical integrity and mitigating health complications.

Additional Information

Incorporating FGM reconstruction surgery and psychosexual support into the NHS is crucial for the comprehensive care of FGM survivors. Although NHS professionals are skilled in complex surgeries like gender reassignment and labiaplasty, reconstruction demands a deeper awareness of FGM survivors' specific challenges and sensitivities. Fund education and training that not only enhances surgical expertise but also covers psychosexual support, safeguarding, and holistic care.
