Fahma Mohamed, 17, has teamed up with the Guardian to call on the UK education secretary, Michael Gove, to raise teachers’ awareness of female genital mutilation (FGM). Between now and the school summer holidays is a critical time to inform teachers of the practice, as girls are at greater risk during the long school break. An estimated 66,000 women and girls in the UK have experienced FGM, and some 140 million women and girls are thought to be living with the consequences worldwide.On Monday between 12pm-1pm GMT Fahma will be online to answer readers’ questions about FGM. She will be joined by Efua Dorkenoo, advocacy director of Equality Now, and Nimco Ali, from the Daughters of Eve, both FGM activists based in the UK.Can we end FGM? If so, how? What can readers do to help? How do we address the problem in developing countries? Where have we seen progress? Could the Guardian #EndFGM campaign have a positive impact?Post your questions in advance below the line, or on Twitter @gdndevelopment.
