1. Symposium anlässlich des WWDOGA 2020 von The Bodyguards

1. Symposium anlässlich des WWDOGA 2020 von The Bodyguards - der neuen internationalen Koalition

The Bodyguards wurde im Mai 2020 ins Leben gerufen und ist eine internationale Koalition, deren Ziel es ist, den Kampf gegen Genitalverstümmelung unabhängig vom Geschlecht der betroffenen Person zu verstärken und universell zu gestalten: weiblich, intersexuell, männlich oder transgender.

Genitalverstümmelungen sind auf der ganzen Welt verbreitet und haben ähnliche, wenn auch oft vergessene anthropologische Ursprünge. Deshalb scheint es nützlich, lokale oder auf ein Geschlecht fokussierte Initiativen zu stärken, indem Synergien zwischen allen Organisationen hergestellt werden, die den Wunsch teilen, diese Praktiken aufzugeben. Obwohl sich diese Praktiken trotz jahrzehntelanger Bemühungen teilweise kaum zurückbilden, erscheint es sinnvoll, bisherige Strategien zu reflektieren, damit jede*r von den Fortschritten des anderen* profitieren und man gleichzeitig eine hörbarere gemeinsame Position abbilden kann.

Wenn Sie dieser Koalition beitreten möchten, konsultieren Sie bitte die Statuten und kontaktieren Sie The Bodyguards unter dieser Adresse icasm.network@gmail.com. Hier ist die Liste der aktuellen Mitglieder.

Global Strategy

> video + presentation leaflet

What is our major challenge in the medium term? Muslim circumcision. Faced with a global issue where intactivist organizations are politically weak, it is desirable to be part of a broad global alliance. In the path of compassion, an Appeal to open a public debate on the conditions for consent to circumcision is our advocacy strategy, in the prospect of forming lateral alliances with many other causes.
