7) UNHCR – United Nations High Commission for Refugees. 8) UNICEF – United Nations Children Fund. 9) UNIFEM – United Nations Development Fund For Women. 10) WHO - World Health Organisation. The document was compiled and published in the year 2000 by the World Health Organisation. It was presented as an authoritative document on the subject of Female Genital Mutilation. The second document which was presented by learned counsel for the petitioner is a small booklet entitled: “FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION IN UGANDA”. It was compiled by Hon. Dora C. Kanabahita Byamukama on behalf of Law and Advocacy for Women in Uganda (LawUganda), the NGO which happens to be the petitioner in this suit. The NGO was established in Uganda in 1997 to fight for women’s rights by using law to improve the status of women’s lives. The authors of the booklet hope that “the publication will create more awareness on the torturous practice of Female Genital Mutilation and hopefully spur more partners into action” – Dr. Dora Kanabahita Byamukama. In her acknowledgments, the author states:“The publication would not have been possible without research undertaken by Georgetown University in conjunction with LAW – Uganda in 2001. It would not have been possible without other publications on Female Genital Mutilation; which we have extensively referred to in the bibliography.” The Interagency Statement on Eliminating Female Genital Mutilation compiled by WHO (supra) is one of the documents listed in the bibliography in Dora Byamukama’s Booklet. I intend to use these two documents [referred to here as the WHO document and the LAW –Uganda document] sparingly only for the purpose of enlightening the reader and answering unfamiliar questions such as: Ø What is Female Genital Mutilation? Ø Why is it practiced? Ø Where in Uganda is it practiced? Ø What is involved in the practice of Female Genital Mutilation? Ø What are the consequences of Female Genital Mutilation? WHAT IS FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION [FGM]? The WHO document defines Female Genital Mutilation as “comprising all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.”
