UK judge bans mother from taking daughter to Egypt ... because FGM



UK judge bans mother from taking daughter to Egypt ... because FGM

A British-Muslim mother was recently banned from traveling to Egypt with her baby daughter, over fears that her one-year-old child might be subjected to female genital mutilation.



The mother converted to Islam after meeting her husband, an Egyptian national, in his native country. She planned to take her newborn baby to the North African country to see her father and his family.
However, UK Judge Justice Allison Russell issued a Female Genital Mutilation Protection Order, effectively banning the mother from traveling outside the UK with her daughter until 2032. She ordered that the child's passport be retained by the court till then.
Russell said the father viewed FGM as part of "Egyptian culture and tradition," according to The Daily Mail. Despite the fact that he also believes the procedure should be legalized, the father said that he does not intend to subject his daughter to the procedure.
"It is not intended that the girl should not be able to see her father or members of the paternal family and the court would encourage the father and his family to visit her in England," Russell added.

Egypt Female Genital Mutilation Worse Than Ever Despite Ban

 

 

FGM is a criminal offense in the UK, however it is a common practice in Egypt

FGM, which is defined as a "partial or total removal of external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons" by the World Health Organization (WHO), is extremely common in Egypt.
According to a 2014 survey, 92 percent of Egyptian women aged between 15 and 49 have been circumcised.
This can lead to worrisome side effects, including severe physical pain, bleeding, and the risk of wound infections.
The practice has also been revealed to cause a delay in women's sexual response cycle.
Earlier this year, the spokesperson of Egypt's primary Forensic Medicine Department, Dr. Hesham Abdel Hamid, revealed that 70 to 80 percent of all Egyptian women cannot orgasm due to the practice.

Children Used on the Front-line of #Islamist Demonstrations #egypt

Shocking footage has emerged of Egyptian children being dressed in white ‘death shrouds’ in preparation for their ‘martyrdom’ by pro-Morsi families in a large demonstration at Rabaa al-Adaweya.






The children were heard chanting pre-rehearsed lines and were seen carrying posters that say “I am ready to die!” during a short march.
This is not the first time that such images have emerged, however media and government attention over the issue remains spotty, as debates over politics have quickly overshadowed social problems plaguing Egypt.
Under both international and local law, using children under 18 years as a tool for politics and placing these children at severe risk of death or injury is illegal.
With an impending dispersion by the government of the pro-Morsi demonstration at Rabaa al-Adaweya, it is evident that the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of children will be put at severe risk.
The National Council for Childhood and Motherhood (a government department) has expressed concerns over the issue and has even labelled the use of children as a political tool “human trafficking.”
However, with a budget of 48 million Egyptian pounds ($US 6.85 million) and just 193 employees and due to current turmoil, the council lacks the necessary resource, and ability to take necessary steps to ensure that this child abuse is tackled.
As of yet, it does not appear that non-governmental organizations have attempted to tackle the use of children as a tool for politics by Morsi supporters. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Egypt, however, is well-equipped and has previously provided necessary humanitarian and technical assistance to ensure children and mothers in Egypt are well-cared for.
Meanwhile, the media (both local and foreign press) appear to be enamored by recent political unrest, and have largely avoided tackling social issues.
Foreign governments meanwhile are still debating on whether to label Egypt’s latest unrest as a “coup” or a “revolution,” with the US Government deciding to not decide at all.
Though Egyptian Streets cannot independently call on government, UNICEF, or others to help ensure that Egyptian children are kept safe form such abuse, concerned citizens of Egypt and the world can, by ensuring that this child abuse is reported to relevant authorities, including local and foreign government representatives, NGOs, and the media.

Update: UNICEF acknowledges reports of child exploitation by political groups

The following statement was released by UNICEF in response to outrage over ‘child abuse’ at demonstrations:
“UNICEF is deeply concerned by reports that children have been killed or injured during the violent confrontations in Egypt over recent days. Disturbing images of children taken during street protests indicate that, on some occasions, children have been deliberately used and put at risk of witnessing or becoming actual victims of violence. Such actions can have a long-lasting and devastating physical and psychological impact on children. We call on all Egyptians and political groups not to exploit children for political ends, and to protect them from any potential harm.”

Brave Little Girl Flees Forced Marriage, Records Powerful Testimonial #yemen


Brave Little Girl Flees Forced Marriage, Records Powerful Testimonial

 


The longstanding severity of Yemen's child marriages is gaining some much needed sunlight this week after a young survivor of this shocking custom took it upon herself to speak out on behalf of the untold many who can't.

Nada al-Ahdal, an 11-year-old from Sana’a, had been promised by her parents to an adult suitor not once, but twice.
The "gifted singer" had been raised by her uncle Abdel Salam al-Ahdal since practically birth, and had been given the opportunity to go to school and learn English.
Abdel Salam, who was also raising a nephew and his aging mother, attempted to guard young Nada from any attempt by her biological parents to marry her off to a rich groom, having experienced the death of his sister by self-immolation over an arranged marriage.
When Nada turned 10, Abdel Salam learned that Nada's mother and father had indeed sold her off to a Yemeni expat living in Saudi Arabia.
He phoned the groom in a panic, desperate to get him to rescind his offer.
"I called the groom and told him Nada was no good for him," Abdel Salam told the Lebanese publication NOW. "I told him she did not wear the veil and he asked if things were going to remain like that. I said ‘yes, and I agree because she chose it.’ I also told him that she liked singing and asked if he would remain engaged to her."
The man was persuaded to call the whole thing off, leaving Nada's parents "disappointed."
Months later they arrived in Sana'a, ostensibly to visit their daughter, but in reality were there to kidnap her and attempt another arranged marriage.
Nada asked to be returned to her uncle, but was told she had already been promised to someone.
Saying she would run away, Nada's family reportedly threatened her with death, but were unable to stop her escape.
She reunited with her uncle, who took her straight to the authorities.
After an investigation was opened into the forced marriage allegations, Nada's dad suddenly backed off the idea, and permitted her to continue living with her uncle.
"I managed to solve my problem, but some innocent children can't solve theirs," Nada said in a confessional released yesterday by MEMRI-TV. "[A]nd they might die, commit suicide, or do whatever comes to mind...It's not our fault. I'm not the only one. It can happen to any child."

Egyptian women's demonstration in front of the presidential palace to demand the criminalization of harassment

Egyptian women's demonstration in front of the presidential palace to demand the criminalization of harassment

مظاهرة نسائية مصرية أمام القصر الرئاسي للمطالبة بتجريم التحرش


شارك أكثر من 30 حركة نسائية مصرية الخميس في وقفة احتجاجية سلمية، تضمنت تنظيم سلاسل بشرية أمام قصر الاتحادية الرئاسي لتقديم وثيقة مجمعة لرئيس الجمهورية تتضمن مطالب النساء التى يجب تضمينها فى الدستور الجديد، ومشروع قانون لتجريم التحرش الجنسى



من بين الأحزاب والحركات السياسية المشاركة في الاحتجاجات أحزاب الدستور والتجمع والمصري الديموقراطي الاجتماعي، والحركة النسائية المصرية واتحاد النساء التقدمي وإئتلاف ثوار مصر فضلا عن المبادرات المناهضة للتحرش والعنف والتمييز ضد النساء


تقول المستشارة تهاني الجبالي، نائب رئيس المحكمة الدستورية العليا في لقاء مع بي بي سي، إن هناك تعمدا من جانب التيارات الإسلامية التي تحوز الأغلبية البرلمانية حاليا "لتهميش وإقصاء المرأة"

طالبت المشاركات في المظاهرة بتضمين مطالب المرأة فى الدستور الجديد، واقرار مشروع قانون لتجريم التحرش الجنسى.

الى جانب المطالبة بتجريم التحرش رفعت المشاركات في المظاهرة شعارات ومطالب اخرى كمكافحة ختان الاناث.

وفقا لدراسة "غيوم في سماء مصر" التي اعدت سنة 2010 وشاركت فيها الف امرأة وفتاة مصرية، فإن 83 في المئة من المستطلعة آراؤهن قلن إنهن تعرضن للتحرش اللفظي او الجسدي، وأن 46.1 منهن قلن إنهن يتعرضن للتحرش بصورة يومية.

قالت فريدة النقاش، رئيس تحرير جريدة الأهالي لبي بي سي، إنها تشارك في الوقفة الاحتجاجية اليوم ضمن "سيدات الاتحاد النسائي التقدمي" أحد أفرع الحركة اليسارية المصرية لشعورها بوجود "تعمد لتهميش دور المرأة في الدستور

طالب بعض المشاركات بضرورة الاستماع إلى كافة الممثلين عن الحركة النسائية المصرية بأطيافها المختلفة داخل لجان الاستماع الخاصة بكتابة الدستور.
