El abordaje social y político de la mutilación genital femenina

EnglishFemale genital mutilation (FGM) went into the social and political agenda of different international organisms some decades ago, with several actions that have been developed in countries where this practice is common. Later, specific legislative measures have been set up in immigration recipient countries to forbid and penalize it.Although these legislative measures are quite widespread, other political and social initiatives are necessary as well that entail a deeper knowledge and higher awareness of FGM and involve communities and their leaders. The participation of public administrations andother social actors must be ensured with the development of plans of action where public and private entities work with immigrant population in the fields of law, health, education and social work. In this paper, we analyze those social and political measures set up at the national and international levels to reach FGM eradication.

El abordaje social y político de la mutilación genital femenina [Social and Political Approach of Female Genital Mutilation]

More than 7 billion people populate the planet, and the UN (2012) projects that this number will rise to a staggering 9.4 billion or higher by 2050.

A new US law criminalizes female genital mutilation (FGM) and requires notification of this fact to immigrants from Africa and the Middle East. In addition US representative to international financial institutions are directed to oppose issuance of foreign aid to countries that lack established educational programs to eradicate FGM. FGM involves a range of procedures characterized by the amount of tissue removed and may be carried out in infants adolescents or new mothers. Complications include death debilitating illness and increased risk during child birth. FGM is firmly entrenched in countries in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of the Arab peninsula and extends to a few groups in Asia and immigrant populations in developed countries. Most women in an Egyptian study had undergone FGM and justified the practice as a way of reducing sexual desire and thus preserving premarital virginity. Many women also consider FGM a religious requirement but this claim is unsubstantiated. Successful eradication campaigns in Kenya have preserved the social and coming-of-age ritual aspects of the practice while rejecting the physical mutilation and efforts in Nigeria have focuses on health education. A New York-based group working to eradicate FGM has criticized the new US law because it requires education of affected communities without allocating the necessary funding. The group charges that the new law needs revision to remove criminal liability from family members who may object to a proposed FGM procedure but fail to report or stop it.
