Women from affected communities have attended courses on the issue staged a march yesterday from Muller Hall in Seymour Road to the Trinity, where an event was held to mark the work that is being done to educate people about the risks of the practice.
Jackie Mathers of NHS Bristol, the designated nurse for safeguarding children has been working with women from ethnic communities and spoke at the event. Ms Mathers told the women gathered at the Centre: "Your voice is really valuable to help with services. We have to protect young people and need your support to say no and help us eradicate this."
