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

How is it possible to fight against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) without disrespecting traditional values? This study analyses ‘film’ as a tool for Human Rights Education in Burkina Faso, especially when it includes thought structures of the local communities. Here, the innovative approach of ciné débat, a particular cinematic awareness-raising strategy is applied and analysed. Thus, this research describes how a documentary film about FGM in Burkina Faso was produced and presented. It is believed that the critical reconsideration of one’s own thoughts represents a prerequisite for changing habits. The aim is to find solutions within the traditional context of the country, not to dictate or instruct behaviour patterns to the locals. Contents Universal rights versus cultural relativism Human rights education through film Women’s rights and FGM in Burkina Faso Ciné débat and traditional debating habits Target Groups Researchers and practitioners in political sciences, human rights education, gender, and development cooperation International organisations with the focus on FGM and women’s rights About the Author Johanna Richter obtained a PhD in Political Sciences at the UNESCO Chair of Human Rights Education. She travels frequently to West Africa, and has been researching the topic of gender in Burkina Faso for over 10 years. She has worked on various science documentaries for TV.

This book uses global household data to examine the prevalence, trends and geographic variation of female genital mutilation (FGM) around the world. It also addresses the underlying legal and policy aspects as well as explores the medical consequences, both immediate and long term, for those undergoing the practice. The book analyses the position of victims of this gender-based violence both from the medical and legal perspective and adopts a largely practical approach to the study of the practices, offering a fresh thinking into one of the challenges in global health and the law. In addition, it offers some insights into how health professionals can approach this category of victims and how legal practitioners can obtain a good legal result for their clients before domestic and international forums. The book addresses fundamental issues such as state liability and defences in enforcement proceedings for actions or omission of state or non-state actors, and due diligence standard in international human rights law, the main gateways available for obtaining relief for the victims of FGM. This book goes beyond the traditional debate between zero tolerance and those who wish to see the practice medicalised and tolerated and favours an advocacy programme standing firmly in favour of the right of FGM victims. This book offers a unique perspective likely to assist victims and their representatives to secure a remedy against perpetrators and the state. As such this book will be of interest to medical professionals, national and international lawyers, academics and policymakers in the field of public health.

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.
