被禁止的性行为与性暴力

性暴力:性器官毁损:方式: 阴蒂切除

手术切除阴蒂(阴蒂切除)比纯粹的“阴蒂包皮环切(clitoridectomy)”损伤严重得多。它甚至是一种严重的女性性器官毁损。作为延伸进体内的器官——阴蒂，因而与其说是外部性器官，倒不如说是内部性器官。然而，切除阴蒂最敏感的顶端——阴蒂头(可能也切除部分阴蒂体)算得上是一种对女性性反应的非常严重的致残行为。少许或大部分的性反应也许会保留，因为阴蒂的其余部分没有受到损伤，但是，这是不可原谅的身体和心理的残害行为。

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.
