We do not republish articles from BBC News. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on bbc.com (opens in a new tab)BBC News reports that Women of Grace UK, a charity founded by FGM survivor Valerie Lolomari, has received the King's Award for Voluntary Service. It sets out her account of what was done to her and the charity's work in her own words. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“was mutilated without warning while growing up in Nigeria and still lives with the emotional and physical trauma”
The BBC names the act as mutilation in its own voice and states its lasting harm plainly. It does not reach for a softer word.
“the charity said”
The BBC attributes the description of what the volunteers do to the charity. It does not present the charity's own account as the outlet's finding.
“the highest award given to local volunteer groups in the UK”
The description of the award is accurate and matches the BBC's other reporting, which calls it the highest given to volunteer groups across the UK.
