In The Name of Tradition A Comprehensive Research Study on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) in Iran Including appaendix The Changing Paradigms of FGM Country Report on 2017 Female Genital Mutilation in Iran With an introduction to Male Circumcision / Male Genital Mutilation (MGM/C) in Iran Part: 4 Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a long-standing ritual that continues to be widespread today. It is a violation of various aspects of women’s sexual rights, and the term ‘female genital mutilation’ is a more realistic reference than ‘female cutting’, which has gained traditional legitimacy. Sometimes the term used is ‘female genital mutilation / cutting’ (FGM/C). Various factors influence the beliefs, norms, attitudes, and political and economic systems contributing to this tradition. There are some studies on the prevalence of genital mutilation in Iran, but they have only a limited range. An comprehensive study over several years examined, analyses and scrutinizes the practice of female genital mutilation in Iran and shows that FGM is prevalent in the four provinces of West Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, Kermanshah and Hormozgan. The study “In the Name of Tradition” which was published in 2015 by Nova publishing, USA found the foundation for a comprehensive plan in Iran to combat female genital mutilation, training and raising awareness, to incorporate it into the global eradication agenda. ___ All our social networks Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kameelahmady/ X (twitter) https://x.com/KameelAhmady telegram https://telegram.me/s/kameel_ahmady apart https://www.aparat.com/kameelahmady linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/kameel-ahmady-361649106 ACADEMIA https://canterbury-kent.academia.edu/kameelAhmady website https://kameelahmady.com/ ____ 1. #Female_Circumcision 2. #End_FGM 3. #Stop_FGM 4. #Ban_FGM 5. #FG_Mawareness 6. #Girls_Rights 7. #No_FGM 8. #Say_No_To_FGM 9. #FGM_Prevention 10. #FGM_FreeGeneration
