Förra veckan kriminaliserades kvinnlig könsstympning i Sudan. Enligt den nya lagen är det nu straffbart med böter och fängelsestraff. En viktig seger för kvinnors rättigheter. IKFF Sudan kommenterar den nya lagstiftningen:
It is a great achievement for sudanese women groups in particular women human rights campgainers who have gained this victory. This is a result of great efforts and a lot of advocacy work to eliminate this dangerous practice which has serious implications on women’s health especially the reproductive health as well as psychological consequences and women dignity.
