Between moral relativism and moral hypocrisy: Reframing The debate on FGM
Abstract
كلمات المفاتيح :
This document presents an article on FGM: Between moral relativism and moral hypocrisy: Reframing The debate on FGM. In this article, the author assesses the merits of these competing perspectives. He argues that each of them involves valid moral concerns that should be taken seriously in order to move the discussion forward. Accordingly, the aim of this article will be to develop an ethical framework concerning FGM (and related interventions) that acknowledges the genuine harms that are at stake, but which does not suffer from being based on cultural double standards. In order to develop this framework, the author will begin by presenting the orthodox position on FGM as represented by the WHO/UN, and then he will turn to the analysis of the critics of this position who have raised the concerns about cultural bias
