‘Virginia’ fled her country to escape her husband, who she says started abusing her after he joined a local gang, trying to force her to submit to FGM – female genital mutilation
She’s afraid she will be killed if her husband tracks her down – which is why she’s seeking asylum in the UK. And despite being denied twice, she’s appealing again.
