Aumento di oltre il 330% della domanda di trattamenti per le mutilazioni genitali femminili in Irlanda

Disgusting practice, this is not something we want in Ireland

EDIT: Only on reddit would somebody take issue with “FGM is bad”

>In 2021, the IFPA provided 55 FGM treatment service appointments, including both medical consultations and counselling sessions. At the end of 2023, the clinic had provided 241 appointments in the previous 12 months – a 338% increase in two years.

You’d wonder if they were running at capacity in 2021 considering a lot of other medical services had limited operations and availability due to COVID.

Criminal

Headline is very misleading

I suspect the vast majority of cases are women who were mutilated in other countries and are fleeing here for safety. But if anyone is ever found guilty of having performed this barbaric act here the first stage of their sentencing hearing should be nailing their penis and each ball to the hand rail of the dock in court and leave them stand there without treatment or pain relief while victim impact reports are delivered.

FGM is illegal in Ireland and, is also illegal to take a child abroad to have it performed.

“Operation Limelight
Female Genital Mutilation is illegal in Ireland and it is illegal to travel to another country to have it performed.

It is a violation of the human rights of women and girls.

It has no health benefits but can cause serious health issues.

If you suspect that a girl is at risk of Female Genital Mutilation or if it has already taken place, please contact the following agencies for advice and support:…”

Title is quite misleading. Firstly, a 338% increase of a small number is *still a small number*.

Secondly, the demand is due to *immigrants who need treatment for what they have suffered before coming here*. It’s not the Irish doing the FGM
