Above NGO Report (INT/CEDAW/NGO/FRA/24296) is the first report on IGM as a harmful practice in violation of CEDAW Article 5 in conjunction with General recommendation No. 31, both requiring legislation to end the practice and to ensure access to redress and justice for IGM survivors.
It contains an updated

stories of IGM survivors from France.
