Female Genital Mutilation Means Structural Violence: Interview With Christa Müller, (I)NTACT

August 11, 2016 By Dr. Milena Rampoldi 1 Comment

I would like to thank Christa Müller —founder and chairperson of the association (I)NTACT e.V. — for taking time to let me interview her. For ProMosaik the struggle against FGM is a universal struggle for the well-being of all society. Religion cannot be used to justify FGM because the concept of FGM in non-existent in all religions. The example of (I)INTACT shows how FGM can really be ended.

Milena Rampoldi, ProMosaik: Which is the main objective of Intact?

Christa Müller, (I)NTACT: The main objective of (I)NTACT e.V. is to definitively abolish FGM in as many countries as possible.

MR: What does FGM mean and how severe are the consequences?

Waris Dirie: Female Genital Mutilation Is ‘Totally Unjustifiable’

May 9, 2016 By Dr. Milena Rampoldi Leave a Comment

This is a very important interview with Waris Dirie of the Desert Flower Foundation (Wüstenblume) in Vienna.

Her books, her movie and her tireless campaign against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) all over the world are well known. I would like to thank Waris for her time. Please carry on!! The struggle against FGM must go on until the last desert flower is saved from this horrible ritual.

We have to fight together to put an end to this horrific violence by women against women. FGM concerns us all.
