Association contre la Mutilation des Enfants A.M.E.

mainly in french, some pages in english – Lié dans nos blogs avec En formation contre l’excision … , KENYA: Instead Of Glory, Girls In Tarime Find Blood And Ashes, et avec FGM – Debates about FGM in Africa, the Middle East & Far East.

Notre association a pour but d’effectuer des recherches sur les différentes mutilations d’enfants, considérées à la fois de façon historique et médicale, et d’en rendre publics les résultats. A cela s’ajoute l’étude des textes juridiques et de la jurisprudence réprimant de telles pratiques, tant en France qu’à l’étranger. L’A.M.E. peut également se porter partie civile devant les tribunaux, et aussi influencer des personnalités afin qu’elles condamnent publiquement la mutilation des enfants, tant opérée pour une prétendue raison médicale (circoncision de routine), que religieuse (telle l’excision).
