Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
Abstract
The article critically examines the disparate legal treatment of female genital cutting (FGC) and male genital cutting (MGC), arguing for a more consistent approach that recognizes both practices as violations of bodily integrity. It highlights the ethical and legal inconsistencies in how these practices are viewed and regulated, advocating for a unified legal framework that prioritizes consent and the rights of the individual.
