Kцnsstympning av flickor i irakiska Kurdistan/norra Irak

Syftet med detta upprop дr att uppmдrksamma omvдrlden pе den barbariska och tortyrliknande behandling av smеflickor som fцrekommer i vissa delar av irakiska Kurdistan i norra Irak. Statistik och flertalet vetenskapliga undersцkningar vittnar om ett alarmerande problem med kцnsstympning i regionen. Nеgra av de bakomliggande orsakerna till detta tabubelagda fenomen man inte pratar hцgt om дr okunskap och en konservativ syn pе kvinnors kropp och sexualitet. Vi som undertecknar detta upprop vill att Irak ska lдggas till pе WHO:s lista цver lдnder dдr kцnsstympning fцrekommer. Genom detta skulle problemet med kцnsstympning uppmдrksammas internationellt. Samtidigt skulle myndigheterna pе plats sдttas under press att agera.

Den tyska organisationen WADI arbetar sedan 2004 pе plats mot kцnsstympning. I bцrjan av 2008 genomfцrde de en undersцkning pе 25 grundskolor i omrеdet Bitwen i Kurdistan. Det visade sig att av totalt 1733 flickor hade 1645 stycken blivit kцnsstympade. Detta дr ett fruktansvдrt brott mot bеde barnkonventionen och de grundlдggande mдnskliga rдttigheterna!

Den regionala regeringen (KRG) avvisade senast i december 2008 ett lagfцrslag med syfte att fцrbjuda kцnsstympning i Kurdistan. Detta дr bara ett exempel pе att barn och kvinnors mдnskliga rдttigheter inte prioriteras av de lokala myndigheterna. Nеgon statistik gдllande andra delar av Irak finns inte tillgдnglig.

Vi mеste tillsammans krдva ett totalt fцrbjud mot kцnsstympning samt att de flickor och kvinnor som pе grund av behandlingen fеtt men fцr livet fеr den hjдlp de behцver!

Female Genital Mutilation in Iraqi Kurdistan/North of Iraq

The purpose of this petition is to draw attention to the barbaric and torture-like treatment of young girls in certain parts of Iraqi Kurdistan/north of Iraq. By signing this letter we demand that Iraq is to be added to WHO's list over nations where female genital mutilation exists. There are sufficient evidence and statistics on the problem.

In December 2008, the regional government (KRG) rejected a bill to outlaw genital mutilation in Kurdistan. This is just one example of the negligence of children's and women's needs. We demand a total and immediate ban of female genital mutilation and assistance for the girls and women subjected to genital mutilation. The natural reasons behind female genital mutilation in Kurdistan are for example conservatism and lack of knowledge of the female body and sexuality.

WADI is a German organisation that since 2004 works on the ground against female genital mutilation. In the beginning of 2008 a survey among 25 schools in the Bitwen area in Kurdistan conducted by Wadi showed that 1645 of 1733 girls were mutilated. This is a terrible and unacceptable violation of the Child convention and of human rights.
