This is horrific

Every surgeon who performed these operations should be struck off Especially the ones rushing it through before it became illegal

Virginity testing is still legal in many countries

Question 1. How did anyone even find out that these girls ‘needed’ such barbaric surgery? Were their vulvas being regularly inspected? Why? Question 2. How many such procedures were carried out by private practitioners and not recorded by NHS? Scores? Hundreds? Thousands?

I'd imagine it is thousands in private practise

It’s vile.Girls stitched up unnecessarily and subjected to pain so that some man can pretend he was first.

Yep. Just so men can rip them open again, hurt them and make them bleed

‘Virginity repair’ OMFG!!! I honestly didn’t know it was a thing. Those poor, poor girls. Find out who performed them whilst law was being passed, question and then make the facts public.

Exactly this!

I just can’t. How was this procedure ever even possible in this country? It’s as unethical as anything could possibly be.

And the way some surgeons were rushing operations through so the girls could be operated on before it was made illegal Why are they still allowed to perform surgery? Unethical from top to bottom
