There is a huge awareness programs of the dangers of FGM among the Somali community in the diaspora especially among young mothers who are better educated and well informed than their parents and as Apollo mentioned, a couple of generations from now on, it will cease to exist. When I was in Somalia, even the religious establishment were involved in educating the masses about FGM from the perspective of Islam. It was a concerted effort that should continue for the foreseeable future. Once it was a taboo topic and now, families and friends openly discuss it.
