Where Do I Start? by Raul Quiros Molina. An activist with over twenty years’ experience of FGM, a charity worker who’s worked in several countries in Africa and a midwife who helps survivors in London discuss what can and can't be done to prevent FGM worldwide. But the voice of Felicity, a victim from Somalia living in London, can explain what it's like beyond the facts and the figures.

womanhood. They could get the party started if the girl would just smile...

Sleight Of Hand by Isley Lynn. How well do you know your neighbours? If something unspeakable was happening next door, would you know about it? And what would you do if
you found out?
