被禁止的性行为与性暴力

性暴力: 性器官毁损: 防止:官方声明

联合国的声明
2007年3月，联合国妇女地位委员会(UN Commission of the Status of Women)敦促全世界禁止女性性器官毁损和强迫结婚。来自政府机构和草根组织的大约6000名妇女分别通过了多个决议案。其中第一个决议案“敦促各个国家政府采取包括颁布和执行法律来防止和开始惩罚这种暴力形式的所有必要措施，以保护女孩和妇女，避免她们受到生殖器毁损”。

联合国儿童基金会的声明
联合国儿童基金会(United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund，UNICEF)也秉持了非常明确的态度。该机构称女性性器官毁损“为一种对女孩权利的最主要的暴力。这种暴力是歧视的结果，它违背平等机会的权利、违背健康保健的权利、违背免予受到暴力的权利、违背免予受到伤害的权利、违背免予受到虐待的权利、违背免予受到折磨的权利，它是残忍的或野蛮的及有辱人格的对待”。(欲知更多的信息，请点击此处。)

全球医学联盟的声明
全球医学联盟(World Medical Association)是一个致力于为全人类达至最高医学诊疗水准的国际机构。该机构毫不含糊地“谴责包括对妇女和女孩的阴蒂包皮环切在内的生殖器毁损的习俗，谴责医生参与这样的习俗。”

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.”
