Produktbeschreibung
Despite being a practice that has been around for many years, the subject of several studies and various attempts to ban it, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), like all social phenomena, is constantly changing. This is why I am interested in this topic. The idea is not to once again expose the problems associated specifically with this phenomenon, but rather to focus on the various practices that make up all types of genital modification. It's not just about what has come to be known as FGM, but also about other practices that in "Western" eyes, unlike the former, are legal and socially acceptable, i.e. the so-called Female Genital Aesthetic Surgeries (FGAS). My aim here is to understand how these two acts, whose sole purpose is non-therapeutic genital modification, are viewed.
Autorenporträt
