The article presents an anthropological critique of the policies about « female genital modifications (FGMo) » in the European Union (EU) and in Italy, as a member country. From the official documents « for the victims », the analysis focuses on the ways and means to communicate the FGM data that are neither clear nor convincing. The author also reviews the ambiguous use of the term « mutilation » which can be perceived as stigmatizing and which use may be counterproductive to the establishment of effective caring relationships. Finally, the author frames this concept in the dimension of « humanitarian reason » about immigration in the EU. |
