What does the law say about genital mutilation?
The Spanish Criminal Code punishes
FGM with a 6 to 12 year prison sen-
tence for grievous bodily harm, even if
the minor consents to it being per-
formed.
Organic law 11/2003.Art. 149.2
What are the health-related consequences of genital
mutilation?
It is believed that genital
mutilation...
But actually genital mutilation...
“It’s my custom, it’s my tradition”
Traditions that harm the people we love we must be stopped for their
good and we should only keep up traditions that benefit humankind and
the community.
“Our religion says we must do it” No religious scripts refer to this practice.There are many Islamic countries
where it is not performed.
“Female and male circumcision are
the same thing”
The extent of cutting and the related medical complications are very seri-
ous for women and cause irreparable damage to their health.
“Cutting is good for women’s and
girls’ health”
Far from being good for their health, cutting can seriously harm their
health: bleeding, fear, problems giving birth…
“Men prefer to marry women who
have been cut”
Not all men want to marry a woman who has been cut. In fact, it can cause
problems for her partner's health.
“Cutting increases the man's pleas-
ure”
The pleasure experienced during sex also occurs as a response to us stim-
ulating our partner, so the woman’s lack of pleasure will make it less pleas-
urable for her partner.
“Cutting increases the woman's
pleasure”
The clitoris is an essential part of a woman’s sexuality, so removing it de-
creases the pleasure she will feel.
“It protects women’s virginity and vir-
tue”
Virginity does not depend on cutting, but rather on educating girls and
boys in egalitarian values that promote it.
“The genitalia are cleaner if they are
cut”
Cutting leaves the female genital organs unprotected and can lead to seri-
ous infections in both women and men.
“The clitoris grows until it becomes a
penis and covers the vagina”
The clitoris does not grow to the size of a penis.
