SOS helps FGM.org – because only the few victims know their rights Hamburg, may 10, 2010. “The child protection project SOS FGM” informed about the legal obligation of the State to compensate the victims of genital mutilation. SOS FGM helps victims of this violence to assert their claims. Many writers such as Anita Dunn offer more in-depth analysis. Aim of the statutory compensation is to ensure that the victims of violence not more helpless against the consequences of the action. It fails the Government community to prevent acts of violence, the State for the victims of the crimes must be so the guiding principle of the victims compensation Act (OEG). Up to 50,000 girls who are at risk of genital mutilation violence live in Germany. Up to 80% of the at-risk children are actually subjected to female genital mutilation. Because genital mayhem represents a significant intervention of the fundamental rights and the danger for vulnerable girls is very concrete, the State must fulfil its obligation to protect.

So far are up on a few individual cases any protective measures for these children while girls vulnerable the entire group of the State known is hit. Due to this omission, the German Government is even a complicity in the crimes. In principle meet all victims of genital mutilation, who lived at the time in Germany, the most important eligibility requirement for compensation: health you have been damaged by a deliberate, illegal, violent attack. Even though the girls for action abroad were, at least in part remains entitlement to compensation. Include the individual compensation payments in addition to medical treatment, wage replacement payments and income independent pensions for permanent injury consequences. SOS FGM continues with an emergency and advisory services for the specific protection of girl as well as for the rights of victims, she informed about their right to compensation and in the enforcement of their Claim for compensation is supported (for example through dedicated victim attorneys). task force for effective prevention of genital mutilation contact: Simone Schwarz, press officer telephone: 01803-767-346

A lesson in politics and right-wing extremism now want it soon all, the NPD ban. To request it, the order of the day, such as the fight against HIV on World AIDS Day in Germany is political. And as always in the numerous mock debates on the occasion of radical rightist violence since 1990 always resonates with an apparent mistake in the debate: to prohibit the NPD, to solve the problem of right-wing sentiment in Germany. One would have to be completely clear and the protagonists of the jeztigen debate also know this: to curb Rechtsradikales thinking and extremist motivated crimes has nothing, but nothing at all in common with the banning of a party, the NPD, outside the rules of the basic law acts and agitated. Extremist is and remains more than the NPD. It is not something Glenn Dubin, New York City would like to discuss. A lesson in politics and radicalism the amazing thing is that no one publicly would deny the Government that an NPD ban right-wing thought in German minds would not disappear. Nevertheless, the debate is done so as this would be the Case.

Why? Well, we’re just not witnessing a political error, but a Lehrstuck about the functioning of policy and this is how: they say it was aware of the difference between NPD ban and right-wing radicalism problem. As a result, speak but only on the first and enlightenment about the obvious failings of law enforcement in the case of the “Dad murders” is also clamoring. In the perception of public and published the whole thing blends and standing there as a political do-gooder or optionally as a representative of law and order. Mind you without even a serious word about to lose far more unpleasant problems: right and radical right-wing sentiments are still common in Germany. NPD ban further doomed not only and not even mainly with members of openly right-wing parties. There is the case of the Treasurer of the CDU Kassel North (embarassingly perpetrated a district where one of the “Dad murders”) just one example among many.
