Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) is a development issue and a form of violence against women and girls that affects at least 200 million women in the world FGM/C is a harmful practice proven to impact the physical and mental health of affected women and girls from the moment of the cutting, with prolonged and irreversible consequences during their entire lives. Studies show that FGM/C has economic and social consequences and a high obstetric cost although a comprehensive study on the exact extent of these economic, health and social costs is still to be carried out. Beyond the data and the statistics, researcher have shown that FGM/C deprives women of sexual satisfaction, sexual health, and psychophysical wellbeing. The Compendium of International and National Legal Frameworks on Female Genital Mutilation (the "Compendium") was prepared to contribute to this urgent and important development debate with the understanding that the knowledge of the law is an important empowerment tool to end FGM/C. It provides a survey of the key international and regional instruments as well as domestic legislation as they relate to the prohibition of FGM/C.

Dans la famille de Maya, originaire du Mali et vivant dans une HLM de banlieue parisienne, les filles sont élevées dans la tradition patriarcale, les coups pleuvent souvent et les interdictions sont nombreuses. À 6 ans, lors de ses premières vacances à Bamako, elle subit une excision. Rapidement, elle comprend que cette mutilation est voulue par ses parents, qu'elle doit taire sa douleur, prendre sur elle. Seule la voix de Céline Dion lui donne un peu de courage.Mais surtout, à l'adolescence, un professeur de français l'ouvre à d'autres cultures, d'autres mondes. L'école la sauve, l'arrachant à sa cité Rimbaud où elle étouffe, à son foyer où l'on veut la préparer à devenir une femme exemplaire, c'est-à-dire mariée, mère de famille et gardienne des coutumes.« La liberté s'acquiert par la connaissance » devient sa maxime.Face au poids des rites et des croyances, Maya oppose sa force, sa rage, refusant de se résigner à son sort, sans pour autant renier ses deux identités.
