Summary
Female genital mutilations and circumcisions (FMG/Cs) are a worldwide and therefore also German issue, although little is known about their practice here in this country. So how does German law deal with them and which fundamental and human rights obligations are to be considered? While debates about human rights and autonomy are crucial in the search for answers, the findings of social, cultural and medical science are also a rich source of vital information.
