被禁止的性行為與性暴力

性暴力: 性器官毀損: 防止:官方聲明

聯合國的聲明

2007年3月，聯合國婦女地位委員會（UN Commission of the Status of Women）敦促全世界禁止女性性器官毀損和強迫結婚。來自政府機構和草根組織的大約6000名婦女分別通過了多個決議案。其中第一個決議案“敦促各個國家政府採取包括頒佈和執行法律來防止和開始懲罰這種暴力形式的所有必要措施，以保護女孩和婦女，避免她們受到生殖器毀損”。

聯合國兒童基金會的聲明

聯合國兒童基金會（United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund，UNICEF）也秉持了非常明確的態度。該機構稱女性性器官毀損“為一種對女孩權利的最主要的暴力。這種暴力是歧視的結果，它違背平等機會的權利、違背健康保健的權利、違背免予受到暴力的權利、違背免予受到傷害的權利、違背免予受到虐待的權利、違背免予受到折磨的權利，它是殘忍的或野蠻的及有辱人格的對待”。（欲知更多的資訊，請點擊此處。）

全球醫學聯盟的聲明

全球醫學聯盟（World Medical Association）是一個致力於為全人類達至最高醫學診療水準的國際機構。該機構毫不含糊地“譴責包括對婦女和女孩的陰蒂包皮環切在內的生殖器毀損的習俗，譴責醫生參與這樣的習俗。”

Prohibited Sexual Behavior and Sexual Violence

Sexual Violence: Mutilation of Female Sex Organs: Prevention: Official Statements

United Nations
In March 2007, the UN Commission of the Status of Women urged the world to ban the mutilation of female sex organs and forced marriages. Some 6000 women from governmental and grassroots groups passed the respective resolutions. The first of these "urges states to take all necessary measures to protect girls and women from female genital mutilation, including by enacting and enforcing legislation to prohibit this form of violence and to end impunity."

UNICEF
The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) also has adopted a very clear position. It calls the mutilation of female sex organs “a fundamental violation of the rights of girls. It is discriminatory and violates the rights to equal opportunities, health, freedom from violence, injury, abuse, torture and cruel or inhuman and degrading treatment”. UNICEF further emphasizes that all of these rights are already protected in international law. (For more information click here.)

World Medical Association
The World Medical Association is an international organization devoted to achieving the highest medical standards for all people in the world. It unequivocally “condemns the practice of genital mutilation including the circumcision of women and girls and condemns the participation of physicians in such practices.”
