Moral Justification in the Issue of Female Genital “Mutilation”
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
This 5 page report discusses the fact that human rights organizations ranging from Amnesty International to the United Nations’ High Council on Refugees estimate that there are between eight and ten million women and girls in the Middle East and in Africa who are at risk of undergoing one form or another of genital “mutilation.” However, countless millions of those women and girls do not perceive the process as mutilation but a coming of age ritual, a rite of passage. As such, Westerners do not have the right to object to or campaign against the practice. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
