Zusammenfassung:The contributors to this volume, an international panel of experts in the fields of medicine, law, ethics, sociology, anthropology, history, religion, and politics, exhaustively document and dissect this largely soft-pedaled and insidious violation of human rights. In 23 chapters they present the history of sexual mutilation; discuss its consequences to the victim, both physical and psychological; analyze its role in tradition; reveal the medical industry's investment in the practice; describe current legislative efforts, including the Ashley Montagu Resolution to End the Genital Mutilation of Children Worldwide; and outline effective, culturally sensitive methods being implemented today to safeguard the human rights of at-risk children.
