    • Girls and boys as Victims: asymmetries and dynamics in European public discourses on genital modifications in children

      Interessanter, langer Text von Sara Johnsdotter, Malmö:

      which, in reality, are one and the same question formulated from different perspectives:


      - Why should girls not enjoy the same opportunities as boys to be incorporated
      into cultural and religious communities through a ritual involving minor cutting
      of their genitals?
      - Why should boys not have the same legal protection as girls against non-medically
      motivated alterations of their genitals?

      Parliamentary Assembly welcomes the work undertaken by the Council to eliminate
      all forms of violence against children (resulting in Resolution 1952) but points out
      that ‘a certain category of human rights violations against children is not yet explic-
      itly covered by any international or European policy or legal instrument’ (section 3,
      Council of Europe, 2013c).
