Connecticut: Bill Prohibiting Female Genital Mutilation Dies in State Senate
September 21, 2018 / creeping
Possibly worse than fake news, is no news. The only hint of this failure to pass the bill is an op-ed by a concerned citizen.
An important bill died in the legislature this year, “An Act Prohibiting Female Genital Mutilation.†Senate Bill 190 would have made it a Class D felony, punishable by up to five years in prison, to perform female genital mutilation on a person under 18.
FGM is outlawed federally, and 26 other states in the United States also ban it. Connecticut needs to join them to put this terrible practice on the radar of schools, clinics, courts and police. Connecticut lawmakers need a zero-tolerance law banning FGM to protect young women and girls.
