About This Book
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.
