Resumo
CEREJO, Dalila; TEIXEIRA, Ana Lúcia e LISBOA, Manuel. Female genital mutilation: Socialcultural contexts, discourses and perceptions. Faces de Eva. Estudos sobre a Mulher [online]. 2017, n.37, pp.83-103. ISSN 0874-6885.
Female Genital Mutilation or Genital Cutting (FGM/GC) is a form of gender-based violence and an attack on the rights and freedoms of girls and women in several countries of the world, including Portugal. With serious consequences for the physical and psychological health of women and girls who have been subjected to FGM/GC, it is now considered as a human rights and public health issue, unavoidable for most European countries that host migrant populations from the countries where FGM/GC is practiced. In this article, we will explore the magnitude and extent of the phenomenon, while analyzing the sociocultural contexts of FGM/GC, namely through interviews conducted with women residing in Portugal who were subjected to this harmful practice
