    60 cases of female genital mutilation discovered in Swedish school

    60 cases of female genital mutilation discovered in Swedish school

    Up to 60 cases of genital mutilation among elementary school girls have been discovered in Norrköping in eastern Sweden since March, local media reported. Among the cases, 28 girls were subjected to the most severe form of genital mutilation.

    The abuse was discovered by health services in a Norrköping school in eastern Sweden, according to a report in local newspaper Norrköpings Tidningar.

    Half of the 60 cases were detected in the same year in elementary school. Twenty-eight of these girls were subjected to the most severe form of genital mutilation, when all external genitalia is removed and the genital area is sewn together, with a small opening for urinating left.

    Most girls who undergo the procedure are between the ages of 4-14 years, but the operation is also carried out on infants. Teenagers typically suffer a wide range of complications including period pains and headaches and for some it can be very painful to urinate.

    There are no established figures detailing the extent of the female genital mutilation in Sweden, or of how many girls are brought to their parents' countries of origin to get it done.

    Let's guess these 'home countries'? It's all about power. Male domination and religious power. Very sad for these powerless girls.

    The Guardian, in one of the few useful areas they comment on, have numerous articles about this.

    It's a difficult one to stamp out, because although it is practiced only in or near Muslim countries, it is not an Islamic practice. But it is intrinsically linked to Islamic traditions and the culture of female suppression and abuse.

    The biggest threat to this practice being allowed to continue in Western countries such as the UK and Sweden is the radical left who have infiltrated the civil service, embedding their blanket acceptance of anything associated with the culture of ethnic minorities.

    Yes. The right for ethnic minorities not to be offended trumps the rights of children not to have their genitals mutilated. What a lovely world we live in...

    Have you any evidence to support the last paragraph?

    Sure. Start another thread and we can debate the leftist PC agenda of the civil service to your heart's content. We can even throw in discussion about the religious apologists running amok if you like.

    But the thread here is about this in case you missed the op:

    n the class where all of the girls had FGM performed on them, 28 were subjected to infibulation - the most extreme kind where the clitoris and labia are complete cut away, and the genitals are sewn to leave a small vaginal opening.

    Totally disgusting and I am glad the UK has brought in tough laws against it but if you are going to throw in what appears to be Daily Mail tripe you should at least have evidence.

    The UK brought in tough laws 28 years ago. Why has the first case only just been brought to court? Despite an estimated 66000 procedures carried out on UK residents.

    1) Perhaps the estimates are BS
    or
    2) Perhaps the "victims" dont complain due to pressure

    You are claiming "acceptance" by the civil service; that sounds a bit far-fetched.

    The estimates are from the government.
