BERLIN. International Day against genital mutilation explains the chairman of the Committee for Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth Sibylle Laurischk, who is also Vice Chairman of the LiF Baden-Württemberg:
Genital mutilation is one of the gravest human rights violations against women and girls. 4,000 girls in Germany are vulnerable to this cruel practice, affected an estimated 20,000 women from NGOs. The mutilation of the external genitalia of girls and women is a human rights violation
suffer the consequences of the women throughout their lives. The risk of genital mutilation, women and girls need therefore to our attention and support. This is especially for educators, teachers, doctors, police officers and staff of counseling centers, youth agencies and immigration authorities. The theme must be incorporated in the curricula and curricula of the relevant professions, for genital mutilation must be known as a problem. It is also necessary, a sufficient number of shelters for the risk of genital mutilation of women and girls.
the FDP parliamentary group has regularly spoken out against the practice of genital mutilation and preventive measures required. The German Parliament has recognized the problem early and responding. By suspending the limitation period until the coming of age in cases of maltreatment, is a law enforcement by 28 Age of those affected possible. The statute of limitations protects the perpetrators no longer. A legal action against female genital mutilation with a specific criminal offense could be an important signal and show that the suffering of women and girls are accepted no longer. The explicit mention in the law would act as a deterrent.
