I specifically worked on Laws and Policies in Somalia concerning female genital mutilation for our project. Since I have a double major in Criminology and Anthropology, this section was right up my alley. I analyzed the different laws that are existing in countries around the world and the push to criminalize FGM, while also looking at the cultural implications of this practice and how it violates human rights. From my research, I was able to see which countries still practice, what awareness groups are available, and what criminal punishments are being applied.
