17 Perform or assist FGM Girls under the age of 18 in the U.S. Vacation Cutting FGM/C IS A FEDERAL CRIME 18 U.S.C. 116
18 STATE LAWS CRIMINALIZING FGM/C California Georgia* Maryland New Jersey* Oregon West Virginia Colorado Illinois Minnesota New York Rhode Island Wisconsin Delaware Kansas* Missouri North Dakota Tennessee Arizona Florida* Louisiana* Nevada* Oklahoma Texas * = Also Covers Vacation Cutting
19 FGM/C IS A FORM OF CHILD ABUSE Even though only 23 states specifically criminalize FGM/C, child abuse is punishable in every state The events that constitute FGM/C meet the legal definition of assault consummated by a battery on a child. Every state has some version of mandatory reporting requirement for child abuse.
20 A child from a community that is known to perform FGM/C may: talk about going on a special holiday to a country where the procedure is prevalent ( vacation cutting ). confide that she is to have a special procedure or celebration. POSSIBLE INDICATIONS THAT FGM/C MAY BE ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE
21 A child from a community known to perform FGM/C may: spend long periods of time away from the classroom during the day with bladder or menstrual problems. have prolonged absences from school plus a noticeable behavior change. seek to be excused from physical exercise without the support of their physician. POSSIBLE INDICATIONS THAT FGM/C MAY HAVE TAKEN PLACE
22 Raise awareness of FGM/C among staff. Familiarize yourselves with the warning signs that FGM/C will occur or has already occurred. Ensure that a designated member of staff with responsibility for safeguarding children is wellversed in FGM/C. WHAT YOU CAN DO AT YOUR SCHOOL?
23 FGM/C is a complex and sensitive issue that requires professionals to approach the subject carefully. Make sure to: give the individual time to talk and be willing to listen. ensure that a female staff member is available if the girl would prefer this. create an open and supportive environment. SPEAKING WITH CHILDREN WHO HAVE UNDERGONE TRAUMA
24 A child is at risk if: She was born to a woman who has undergone FGM/C She has a sibling who has undergone FGM/C She or her family are from a country with a high prevalence of FGM/C RISK FACTORS
25 CASE SCENARIO
26 -Fatu is born in the United States to immigrant parents, which makes her a U.S. citizen. Fatu spends the first 7 years of her life a happy, friendly and smart girl. -Fatu is taken to her parents country of origin at the age of 7, under the pretense of a vacation trip to visit her grandparents. Once in her parent s home country, Fatu is forcibly taken to the exciser and mutilated. Fatu and her parents return to the United States, and she returns to school after the summer. -Fatu s teachers notice a difference in her behavior. Fatu is withdrawn and distant, and is no longer interested in playing with her best friend. Teachers notice a difference in Fatu s studies, and are confused.
27 Fatu s teacher brings her to you. What should you say to Fatu? How do you approach her? Should you call her parents? Should you call Child Protective Services? NEXT STEPS?
