被禁止的性行為與性暴力

性暴力:性器官毀損:方式: 陰蒂切除

手術切除陰蒂（陰蒂切除，clitoridectomy）比純粹的“陰蒂包皮環切（clitoridectomy）”損傷嚴重得多。它甚至是一種嚴重的女性性器官毀損。作為延伸進體內的器官——陰蒂，因而與其說是外部性器官，倒不如說是內部性器官。然而，切除陰蒂最敏感的頂端——陰蒂頭（可能也切除部分陰蒂體）算得上是一種對女性性反應的非常嚴重的致殘行為。少許或大部分的性反應也許會保留，因為陰蒂的其餘部分沒有受到損傷，但是，這是不可原諒的身體和心理的殘害行為。

Sexual Violence: Mutilation of Female Sex Organs: Forms: Clitoridectomy

The surgical excision of the clitoral glans (clitoridectomy) is much more than a mere “circumcision”. Indeed, it is a severe mutilation of the female sex organs. The clitoris as a whole extends into the interior of the body and is, therefore, more an internal than an external organ. Nevertheless, cutting off its most sensitive tip, the glans (and perhaps part of the clitoral body) amounts to a very serious crippling of the female sexual response. Some or even much of the response may remain, because the rest of the clitoral system remains unaffected, but this is no excuse for the physical and psychological damage.
