SUMMARY:Journée internationale de tolérance zéro à l’égard des mutilations génitales féminines
DESCRIPTION:Les mutilations génitales féminines (MGF) recouvrent l’ensemble des interventions qui consistent à altérer ou à léser les organes génitaux de la femme pour des raisons non médicales. Elles sont considérées au niveau international comme étant une violation des droits humains des femmes et des filles\, notamment de leurs droits à la santé\, à la sécurité et à l’intégrité physique\, ainsi que de leur droit à la vie lorsque ces pratiques ont des conséquences mortelles. \nLes filles qui subissent des mutilations génitales féminines font face à des complications à court terme\, telles que des douleurs intenses\, des saignements excessifs\, des infections et des difficultés à uriner\, ainsi qu’à des conséquences à plus long terme pour leur santé sexuelle et reproductive et leur santé mentale. \nBien que principalement concentrée dans 30 pays d’Afrique et du Moyen-Orient\, la pratique des mutilations génitales féminines (MGF) est un problème universel. Elle persiste également dans certains pays d’Asie et d’Amérique latine\, ainsi que parmi les populations immigrées vivant en Europe occidentale\, en Amérique du Nord\, en Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande. \nPour promouvoir l’élimination des MGF\, des efforts coordonnés et systématiques\, impliquant l’ensemble d’une communauté\, sont nécessaires. Ils doivent être axés sur les droits humains\, l’égalité entre les sexes\, l’éducation sexuelle et porter une attention particulière aux besoins des femmes et des filles ayant subi de telles pratiques.

SUMMARY:Journée internationale de tolérance zéro à l’égard des mutilations génitales féminines
DESCRIPTION:Female genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures that involve altering or injuring the female genitalia for non-medical reasons and is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights\, the health and the integrity of girls and women. \nGirls who undergo female genital mutilation face short-term complications such as severe pain\, shock\, excessive bleeding\, infections\, and difficulty in passing urine\, as well as long-term consequences for their sexual and reproductive health and mental health. \nAlthough primarily concentrated in 30 countries in Africa and the Middle East\, female genital mutilation is a universal problem and is also practiced in some countries in Asia and Latin America. Female genital mutilation continues to persist amongst immigrant populations living in Western Europe\, North America\, Australia and New Zealand. \nTo promote the elimination of female genital mutilation\, coordinated and systematic efforts are needed\, and they must engage whole communities and focus on human rights\, gender equality\, sexual education and attention to the needs of women and girls who suffer from its consequences. \n
