Abstract
El fenómeno migratorio ha dado paso a un tipo de sociedad abierta que permite
un enriquecimiento mutuo pero, a su vez, origina tensiones que surgen de la
confrontación entre las costumbres y tradiciones de un pueblo y las reglas de
convivencia de otra sociedad. Esta colisión se pone de manifiesto especialmente
en el tema de la mutilación genital femenina, práctica que obedece a la observancia
de una norma cultural en unos casos, religiosa en otros, concebida como
signo de identidad, cuando no de género. En este trabajo analizamos la situación
de esta realidad en nuestro país, el marco jurídico que sirve de referencia,
así como las propuestas para su erradicación, teniendo en cuenta la jurisprudencia
española a partir del cuestionado principio de justicia universal.
Migration brings about an open type of society which allows for mutual enrichment, but, in turn, is not without tensions that arise as a result of the confrontation between the customs and traditions of a people and the rules of coexistence of another. This collision is especially evident in the subject of female genital mutilation, a practice that reflects the observance of cultural norm in some cases, and religious in other cases, which are a sign of identity or of gender. This paper studies this issue in our country, its legal frame of reference as well as proposals for its eradication, considering the Spanish case law starting from the contested principle of universal justice.
