被禁止的性行為與性暴力

性暴力: 性器官毀損: 防止: 策略 1

當然，許多已經正式譴責性器官毀損的政府代理機構和非政府組織認識到，他們的聲明必須由具體的行動來貫徹。他們同樣認識到沒有有關社會的自願合作只能是事倍功半。在許多情形下，毫無疑問將要進行巨大的社會變革，而且只有讓人人都懂得了這種社會變革的益處，社會變革才可能發生。所以，終止傳統的性器官毀損習俗的運動必須把教育和法律改革結合起來，而且這兩項措施必須要得到當地社會的宗教當局及其領袖的支持。

凱爾國際的策略

這個抗擊全球饑饉的著名組織也設法參與終止這種女性性器官毀損習俗。所以，凱爾國際（CARE International）主席于2006年呼籲全世界的公民簽署一個阻止這種習俗的請願書。不過，她同時也強調只有通過尊重有關社會的對話，這個目標才可能夠最終達成：

因而，凱爾國際在吸收了自己長期經驗的基礎上，就直奔務實的解決之途。欲知詳情，請點擊此處。

聯合國兒童基金會的策略

聯合國兒童基金會以同樣的熱忱出版了一個怎樣達到與之相同目標的實用指南：“改變有害社會的習俗：女性生殖器毀損/切除(Changing a Harmful Social Convention： Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting）”。這個指南也側重于社區行動，建議創造“一個于社會變革有利的社會環境”。

該機構因而強調：

Prohibited Sexual Behavior and Sexual Violence

Sexual Violence: Mutilation of Female Sex Organs: Prevention: Strategies

The many governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations that have officially condemned sexual mutilations know, of course, that their statements must be followed by concrete actions. They have also learned that little can be accomplished without the voluntary co-operation of the communities concerned. In many cases, great social changes will have to be brought about, and these can occur only if everyone sees their advantages. A campaign to end the traditional mutilations must therefore combine legal reform with education, and both must be supported by religious authorities and other leaders in the community.

CARE International
This well-known organization fighting global poverty also tries to end the mutilation of female sex organs. In 2006, the president of CARE therefore asked the citizens of the world to sign a petition to stop it. However, at the same time, she also emphasized that, ultimately, this goal can be reached only through respectful community dialogue:

“Our approach includes:
  - Educating key community leaders, religious leaders and village elders,
  - starting a community dialogue and holding public discussions,
  - supporting individual change in families that abandon the practice.”

Thus, CARE, drawing on its long experience, points the way toward a practical solution.

UNICEF
In the same spirit, UNICEF has published a practical guide on how to achieve the same goal: “Changing a Harmful Social Convention: Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting.” This guide also concentrates on community action. It proposes the creation of “an enabling environment for change”.
It therefore emphasizes:

-  Dialogue and non-judgmental discussions,
-  alternative rites of passage (initiation ceremonies),
-  alternative employment opportunities for the excisers, and 
-  working with migrant populations in industrialized countries.
