Good afternoon,

I am a film maker and I am currently in the research stages of making a documentary about female circumcision.

I was hoping that you would have a few ladies within your service who would be willing to share their experiences with me.
I would keep all identity private so they can be assured that they can speak openly in confidence without any need to worry about their identity being shown.

My aim for this documentary is to understand this practice, be it good or bad.
I want to explore why it is done. Why people choose to have it done or force it upon others.
I want to get their perspective and how they feel about it now.

It is a practice that is been held in the UK and other countries illegally and i want to explore why.

What I need is females and males, both who live in the UK and abroad to give me their honest opinions on the subject.
I would also very much like to speak to any women who have had this practice done to them, how they felt at the time and how they feel now.

Your help would be amazing for this project. My aim is not to belittle the procedure but to understand the reason behind it and to make other people understand.

So please, if you could contact me via this email, it would be great.

Your help can create something beautiful out of something people see as so horrendous.

Many thank,

Kara
