This paper seeks to explore how female genital mutilation (FGM) amounts to torture or other cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment (CIDT) or punishment, with a specific focus on how the intersection with migration compounds torture and CIDT. The paper argues that the application of the torture framework is needed to prevent, protect, and provide access to justice for those affected by FGM. Some lessons learned from Europe regarding the implementation of the SRT’s recommendations will be shared, and additional recommendations will be provided.

Abstract
This paper seeks to explore how female genital mutilation (FGM) amounts to torture or other cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment (CIDT) or punishment, with a specific focus on how the intersection with migration compounds torture and CIDT. The paper argues that the application of the torture framework is needed to prevent, protect, and provide access to justice for those affected by FGM. Some lessons learned from Europe regarding the implementation of the SRT’s recommendations will be shared, and additional recommendations will be provided.
