► The practice of female genital mutilation is known to be a serious problem in the UK, but there are concerns about another abusive ritual.

Police say the scale of the problem may be far bigger than anyone knows.

In this investigation, victims have told Katherine Nash about the procedure - you might find the details distressing.
