    They often call it female circumcision but it's not circumcision, it's castration and it is so very, very wrong. I hope people listen to you

    Will be watching live from my office in Melbourne, Australia. Julia, i think you are incredibly brave, especially as I don't like heights! your message is an important one, even if you get one person to go away a bit more aware of the issues, it will have been worth it!
