Canadian girls are being taken out of the country to have it performed, and immigrants in the country are not being provided with support to cope with issues that may arise even years after FGC has taken place.  According to End FGM Canada Network, the country has over 100,000 survivors of female genital mutilation with thousands of girls at risk, with immigrants making up a majority of this number.  This is happening in Canada, Its totally unacceptable. Please share your thought
