Weibliche Genitalbeschneidung ist ein Phänomen, das aus verschiedenen Perspektiven betrachtet unterschiedliche Reaktionen hervorruft. Wie erleben betroffene Frauen mit somalischer Herkunft die Praktik im Kontext von Migration? Und welchen Blick haben Fachkräfte der Sozialen Arbeit und migrierte somalische Männer auf weibliche Genitalbeschneidung? Insgesamt wird deutlich, dass die Perspektive betroffener Frauen und Männer in der Sozialen Arbeit in Zukunft deutlich mehr berücksichtigt werden muss. Female circumcision is a phenomenon that causes different reactions from different perspectives. How do Somali women experience the practice in the context of migration? And what view do social workers and migrated Somali men have of female circumcision? Overall, it is clarified that the perspective of affected women and men in social work will have to be given much more future consideration. So unterschiedlich die Persönlichkeiten und Biographien der GesprächspartnerInnen, so vielfältig sind deren Aussagen. Dennoch wird klar: Nachwievor sind Hebammen und GynäkologInnen zu wenig über weibliche Genitalbeschneidung informiert und verhalten sich Betroffenen gegenüber all zu oft unangemessen, ja herablassend. Aber eine maßgebende Voraussetzung für die Akzeptanz von Aufklärungsbemühungen ist ein offener, wertschätzender Kontakt auf Augenhöhe. frauenrechte.de, 01/2016

Circumcision is a cultural phenomenon that affects 15.3 million children and young adults annually. In terms of gender, 13.3 millions boys and 2 million girls are subjected to the involuntary removal of part or all of their external sex organs every year. Few people, however, ask why such practices persist or how modern societies can tolerate this inherent violation of human rights. The problem of female circumcision is being addressed on an international level, while male circumcision remains a subject many academics are reluctant to fully or impartially examine. This book explores the problem of male and female circumcision in modern society from religious, anthropological, psychological, medical, legal, and ethical perspectives. Bodily Integrity and the Politics of Circumcision: Culture, Controversy, and Change illuminates the vulnerability of human society to medical, economic, and historical pressures. It provides a much-needed, thoughtful, and detailed analysis of the devastating impact of circumcision on bodily integrity and human rights, and it provides hope for change.

"The last three decades have witnessed a proliferation of NGOs engaging in new campaigns to end the practice of female genital cutting across Africa. These campaigns have in turn spurred new institutions, discourses, and political projects, bringing about unexpected social transformations, both intended and unintended. Consequently, cutting is waning across the continent. At the same time, these endings are being disavowed by cross-continental discourses that argue that cutting has become an object of a neocolonial, racist gaze and Western interventionist zeal. What does it mean to say that while cutting is ending, the Western discourse surrounding it is on the rise? And what kind of a feminist anthropology is needed in such a moment? The Twilight of Cutting examines these and other questions from the vantage point of Ghanaian feminist and reproductive health NGOs that have organized campaigns against cutting for over thirty years. The book looks at these NGOs not as solutions but as sites of "problematization." The purpose of understanding Ghanaian campaigns, their transnational and regional encounters, and the forms of governmentality they produce is not to charge them with providing answers to the question, how do we end cutting? Instead, it is to account for their work, their historicity, the life worlds and subjectivities they engender, and the modes of reflection, imminent critique, and opposition they set in motion."--Provided by publisher.

"There is hardly a reason to circumcise a little boy for medical reasons because those medical reasons don’t exist," said Dr. Michael Wilks, Head of Ethics at the British Medical Association, who admitted that doctors have circumcised boys for "no good reason." In the United States, parts of Africa, the Middle East, and in the Muslim world, 13.3 million infant boys and 2 million girls have part or all of their external sex organs cut off for reasons that defy logic and violate basic human rights. Doctors, parents, and politicians have been misled into thinking that circumcision is beneficial, necessary, and harmless. In Circumcision and human rights, internationally respected experts in the fields of medicine, science, politics, law, ethics, sociology, anthropology, history, and religion present the latest research on this tragedy, as a part of the worldwide campaign to end sexual mutilation. They outline steps for eradicating this abusive practice to enable males and females the dignity of living out their lives with all the body parts with which they were born.
