Courtesy: PGPD.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"meta_origin\">MBABANE, Mar 24 2020 (IPS) <\/span>&#8211; Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is still widely practised in the African country of Djibouti. Despite efforts by the government and development agencies to curb this practice, culture, tradition and religion continue to slow down progress.<span id=\"more-165808\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to Hassan Omar Mohamed, a Member of Parliament from the Djibouti House of Assembly, FGM is a deeply-rooted practice that has stood the test of time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) describes FGM as a practice that involves altering or injuring the female genitalia for non-medical reasons.&nbsp; It is internationally recognised as a human rights violation.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Globally, <a href=\"https:\/\/djibouti.unfpa.org\/en\/publications\/unfpa-djibouti-fgm-interventions-2018\"><span class=\"s2\">it is estimated that 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone some form of FGM<\/span><\/a>. UNFPA states that, although FGM is declining in the majority of countries where it is prevalent, most of these are also experiencing a high rate of population growth &ndash; meaning that the number of girls who undergo FGM will continue to grow if efforts are not significantly scaled up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Latest data from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/stories\/ending-female-genital-mutilation-djibouti\"><span class=\"s2\">UNFPA and UNICEF<\/span><\/a> reveal that 78 percent of women and girls in Djibouti are still subjected to FGM.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In November, United Nations member states gathered in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi to renew a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nairobisummiticpd.org\/content\/icpd25-commitments\"><span class=\"s2\">promise<\/span><\/a> made 25 years ago to end harmful practices against women and girls including FGM. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is for that reason that the Government of Djibouti has intensified awareness-raising efforts, which has resulted in reduced FGM cases, although the practice continues.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&ldquo;Education and training are the means which facilitate the change of behaviour,&rdquo; said Omar Mohamed, adding that the change of attitude will lead to the total abandonment of the practice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Djibouti participated at the Nairobi Summit and made resolutions following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nairobisummiticpd.org\/\">25<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s3\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> International Conference on Population Development (ICPD25) commitments in fulfilling Goal 5 of the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG 5 calls upon countries to achieve gender equality and women empowerment by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As a result, in 2019 Djibouti created the Parliamentary Group of Population and Development (PGPD) &ndash; an eight-member formation of four men and an equal number of women MPs &ndash; to which Omar Mohamed is the president. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Its objective is to contribute to the promotion and protection of the fundamental rights of populations; promote access to education, health, family planning and to encourage the full implementation of the programme of action of the ICPD. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">In addition, the&nbsp;Asian Population and Development Association (APDA), together with National Assembly of Djibouti and the&nbsp;PGPD, organised Inter-regional Parliamentarians Meeting from Feb. 23 &ndash; 24. to follow up ICPD25 in Djibouti.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&ldquo;It was an opportunity for parliamentarians to interact and cooperate with their colleagues on issues related to the engagement of the Nairobi Summit,&rdquo; he said. They discussed family planning and violence against women and girls and developed a roadmap for implementing ICPD25 commitments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Moreover, the Government of Djibouti has adopted, signed and ratified the following international instruments that contribute to the eradication of FGM.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"s1\">These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&nbsp;The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women;<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&nbsp;The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women; and,<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Additional Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights on the Rights of Women (Maputo Protocol).<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To harmonise international commitments on ICPD the Government of Djibouti developed a five-year National Strategy for the Abandonment of FGM. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&ldquo;The main objective of this strategy was to promote the total abandonment of FGM by respecting physical integrity and promoting the health of women and girls,&rdquo; said Omar Mohamed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">UNFPA has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unfpa.org\/sites\/default\/files\/DJ_UNFPA_Results_07_27.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\">also supported several ICPD activities<\/span><\/a> in Djibouti, including updating the Sexual and Reproductive Health Essential Package Protocol to include FGM and established a mobile anti-FGM brigade. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The government also has strengthened its domestic law to protect women and prohibit any physical violation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Omar Mohamed noted that considering that ICPD issues are part of the SDGs which are interlinked, there is a great commitment to meet the targets by 2030. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">However, socio-economic challenges that slow down progress which include massive unemployment, inequality and the rise of extremism remain a stumbling block. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&ldquo;To counter all the challenges that arise, economic and institutional reforms are needed to support and respect the SDGs and the commitments made within the framework of the ICPD process,&rdquo; he said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The government has produced a national strategy to respond to the socio-economic challenges that hinder the country&rsquo;s progress towards achieving the SDGs.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"section\">Related IPS Articles<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipsnews.net\/2020\/01\/india-japans-mps-act-quickly-implement-sexual-reproductive-health-plans-icpd25\/\">India and Japan&rsquo;s MPs Act Quickly to Implement Sexual and Reproductive Health Plans after ICPD25<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipsnews.net\/2019\/09\/asian-arab-parliamentarians-move-forward-reproductive-health-gender-empowerment\/\">Asian &amp; Arab Parliamentarians to Move Forward on Reproductive Health &amp; Gender Empowerment<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"authorarea\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p><a class=\"post-edit-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ipsnews.net\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=165808&amp;action=edit\">Edit This Post<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">Tags: <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/tag\/373164\/\" rel=\"tag\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipsnews.net\/2020\/03\/djibouti-intensifies-awareness-raising-efforts-fgm\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.ipsnews.net\/2020\/03\/djibouti-intensifies-awareness-raising-efforts-fgm\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>headquarters@ips.org<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/content-marketing\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Content Marketing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/extended-distribution\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Extended Distribution<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>headquarters@ips.org<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mantoe Phakathi &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ICPD awareness-raising campaigns in rural Tadjourah and Ali Sabieh in Djibouti, organised by the Parliamentary Group of Population and Development (PGPD).
