Mutilação genital feminina ainda é um problema na Europa

Coronavirus, artwork Human coronavirus. Computer artwork of a Human coronavirus particle. Coronaviruses primarily infect the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tract and can cause the common cold, gastrointestinal infections and SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). Coronaviruses are named after the corona (crown) of surface proteins (outer dots) that are used to penetrate a host cell. Once inside the cell, the virus particles (virions) use the cell s machinery to make more copies of themselves.

epa05143956 An undated handout picture made available by The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) on 05 February 2016 shows Boko Mohammed, a former excisor, a practitioner who performs female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), holding the tool she used to perform the procedure at a community meeting in Kabele Village, in Amibara District, Afar Region, Ethipia. Boko no longer performs FGM/C. The meeting was organized by the Rohi-Weddu Pastoral Women Development Organization. At least 200 million girls and women, currently living in around thirty countries, have suffered female genital mutilation (FGM), according to a statement published by Unicef. The figure increased by around 70 million compared to the latest estimates in 2014 because of more data gathered from countries where there is high prevalence of the practice, such as Indonesia, and because of population growth in some places. The study, published on 05 February 2016, prior to the 'International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation,' points out that half of the cases are found in only three nations: Egypt, Ethiopia and Indonesia. Of the total, around 44 million of the victims are girls aged 14 or younger from countries where the prevalence of FGM in this age group exceeds 50 percent. Of all girls and women aged between 15 and 49 today, nearly all Somali (98 percent) and Guinea (97 percent) women have suffered genital mutilation. According to Unicef, opposition to the practice is gaining strength and its use has significantly decreased in some countries such as Libya, Burkina Faso, Kenya and Egypt in the past decades. Since 2008, more than 15,000 communities and districts in 20 countries have declared themselves against FGM. Five countries have passed laws that establish the practice as a crime.

Portugal investe no combate à mutilação genital feminina 06.02.2021

Portugal e Guiné-Bissau já adotaram leis que proíbem a MGF. Apesar da queda do número de casos em Portugal, diagnóstico, prevenção e informação continuam a ser fundamentais no combate à mutilação genital feminina.
