La Comisi\u00f3n Interamericana De Derechos Humanos Destaca La Mutilaci\u00f3n Genital Femenina\/Corte Como Una Preocupaci\u00f3n Urgente De Derechos Humanos A Nivel Regional<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Miami, Estados Unidos, 19 de Noviembre, 2025:<\/b> Por primera vez en su historia, la Comisi\u00f3n Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (CIDH) abord\u00f3 p\u00fablicamente la mutilaci\u00f3n genital femenina\/corte (MGF\/C) en las Am\u00e9ricas. En una audiencia hist\u00f3rica celebrada en Miami el 17 de noviembre de 2025, las y los Comisionados de la CIDH escucharon testimonios de sobrevivientes, liderezas ind\u00edgenas, y personas expertas en medicina y derecho de Colombia, Estados Unidos y Canad\u00e1, quienes llamaron a una acci\u00f3n gubernamental urgente y coordinada para prevenir, estudiar y responder a esta forma extrema de violencia contra mujeres y ni\u00f1as. <\/span><\/p>\n

La CIDH es el \u00f3rgano de derechos humanos de la Organizaci\u00f3n de los Estados Americanos (OEA), la entidad que re\u00fane a los pa\u00edses del continente para promover la democracia y los derechos humanos. Al incluir la MGF\/C en su agenda, la CIDH la ha reconocido formalmente como una preocupaci\u00f3n regional y ha se\u00f1alado a los gobiernos que tienen la responsabilidad de prevenir y responder a esta violaci\u00f3n de derechos humanos reconocida internacionalmente. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLa CIDH reconoce la MGF\/C como una pr\u00e1ctica da\u00f1ina y como una expresi\u00f3n de estereotipos de g\u00e9nero perjudiciales, desigualdad de g\u00e9nero y subordinaci\u00f3n de mujeres y ni\u00f1as, as\u00ed como una violaci\u00f3n del derecho a una vida digna\u201d, afirm\u00f3 la Comisionada Roberta Clarke, Relatora sobre los Derechos de las Mujeres.<\/span><\/p>\n

EVIDENCIA DEMUESTRA QUE LA MGF\/C OCURRE EN LAS AM\u00c9RICAS<\/b><\/h3>\n

La MGF\/C implica la remoci\u00f3n parcial o total de los genitales externos femeninos por razones no m\u00e9dicas. No tiene ning\u00fan beneficio para la salud y puede causar da\u00f1os f\u00edsicos y psicol\u00f3gicos severos, inmediatos y de largo plazo. <\/span><\/p>\n

La MGF\/C est\u00e1 documentada en al menos 94 pa\u00edses en el mundo<\/span><\/a>, pero el 39 por ciento no cuenta con leyes que la proh\u00edban expl\u00edcitamente, incluyendo algunos pa\u00edses de las Am\u00e9ricas como Colombia, y nueve estados de Estados Unidos. Estos hallazgos alarmantes provienen de una evaluaci\u00f3n global incluida en un informe conjunto de 2025 <\/span>del End FGM European Network, Equality Now y la U.S. End FGM\/C Network. <\/span><\/p>\n

La audiencia de la CIDH sobre MGF\/C, realizada durante el 194 Periodo de Sesiones de la Comisi\u00f3n, marc\u00f3 el reconocimiento de que esta pr\u00e1ctica da\u00f1ina no se limita a \u00c1frica o Asia, sino que tambi\u00e9n ocurre en las Am\u00e9ricas. La Comisionada Gloria Monique de Mees destac\u00f3 que la MGF\/C todav\u00eda se percibe ampliamente como algo \u201cque sucede all\u00e1 afuera, no algo que afecta a las Am\u00e9ricas\u201d, lo que refuerza la necesidad de abordarla formalmente en un contexto interamericano.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kaitlin Mitchell de la U.S. End FGM\/C Network<\/a> se\u00f1al\u00f3 que aproximadamente 577 mil mujeres y ni\u00f1as han sido sometidas o est\u00e1n en riesgo de ser sometidas a MGF\/C en Estados Unidos, pero el conocimiento y la aplicaci\u00f3n de las leyes existentes siguen siendo d\u00e9biles. Adem\u00e1s, Anastasia Law de Equality Now advirti\u00f3 sobre directivas pol\u00edticas y un proyecto de ley federal que buscan <\/span>equiparar la MGF\/C con la atenci\u00f3n de salud afirmativa de g\u00e9nero<\/a> para adolescentes trans, lo que podr\u00eda debilitar la legitimidad de las leyes actuales contra la MGF\/C, \u201cerosionar la coherencia legal, generar confusi\u00f3n entre las y los prestadores de servicios y socavar la confianza comunitaria\u201d.<\/p>\n

En Colombia, datos oficiales indican al menos 204 casos de MGF\/C entre 2020 y 2025, principalmente entre ni\u00f1as ind\u00edgenas Ember\u00e1 Esto incluye las <\/span>muertes recientes<\/span><\/a> de una ni\u00f1a de 13 a\u00f1os y de una beb\u00e9 de 23 d\u00edas en Bogot\u00e1. <\/span><\/p>\n

El informe global de 2025 sobre la MGF\/C tambi\u00e9n destac\u00f3 la presencia hist\u00f3rica de esta pr\u00e1ctica en Panam\u00e1, M\u00e9xico y Per\u00fa, donde documentaci\u00f3n previa sugiere que podr\u00eda ocurrir en algunas comunidades ind\u00edgenas, aunque no hay datos suficientes para determinar su prevalencia actual.<\/span><\/p>\n

Desde Colombia, la lideresa ind\u00edgena Embera Chami y Directora de Akubadaura, Lina Marcela Tob\u00f3n Yagar\u00ed, enfatiz\u00f3: \u201cLa erradicaci\u00f3n de esta pr\u00e1ctica debe construirse a trav\u00e9s del di\u00e1logo entre el Estado colombiano y los pueblos ind\u00edgenas, porque implica transformaciones culturales. Es fundamental evitar medidas impuestas que generen mayores tensiones y profundicen la discriminaci\u00f3n estructural que enfrentan las mujeres ind\u00edgenas\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

El perito forense Dr. Leonardo Quintero Su\u00e1rez, del Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal de Colombia, explic\u00f3 que la MGF\/C en el pa\u00eds suele realizarse dentro de los primeros 15 d\u00edas de vida y sin anestesia, y advirti\u00f3 que las autoridades a menudo carecen de herramientas para intervenir a tiempo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Quintero Su\u00e1rez destac\u00f3 la urgencia de que el Congreso de Colombia apruebe un proyecto de ley orientado a abordar la MGF\/C<\/a> y a fortalecer la capacidad del Estado para proteger a las ni\u00f1as en riesgo, garantizar servicios adecuados y mejorar la recolecci\u00f3n de datos que permitan comprender mejor el fen\u00f3meno y evaluar el impacto de las intervenciones. El proyecto ya fue aprobado en la C\u00e1mara de Representantes y est\u00e1 a la espera del debate en el Senado. <\/span><\/p>\n

ALIANZA REGIONAL EXHORTA A LOS ESTADOS A FORTALECER SU ACCI\u00d3N FRENTE A LA MGF\/C<\/b><\/h3>\n

La <\/span>Alianza de las Am\u00e9ricas para Poner Fin a la MGF\/C<\/span><\/a>, integrada por organizaciones nacionales, regionales e internacionales como la <\/span>US End FGM\/C Network<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Sahiyo<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>End FGM Canada Network<\/span><\/a>y Equality Now, junto con la organizaci\u00f3n colombiana <\/span>Akubadaura<\/span><\/a>, inst\u00f3 a la Comisi\u00f3n a emitir lineamientos regionales claros y llamar a los gobiernos a fortalecer sus marcos legales y sus sistemas de datos sobre la MGF\/C. <\/span><\/p>\n

La Alianza tambi\u00e9n subray\u00f3 la importancia de asignar presupuestos espec\u00edficos para la prevenci\u00f3n y los servicios para sobrevivientes, y de mejorar la coordinaci\u00f3n entre los sistemas de justicia, salud y gobernanza ind\u00edgena para asegurar respuestas culturalmente pertinentes que protejan a mujeres y ni\u00f1as en riesgo. Las respuestas efectivas deben considerar adem\u00e1s las formas interseccionales de discriminaci\u00f3n que agravan la vulnerabilidad, especialmente en comunidades ind\u00edgenas y marginadas. <\/span><\/p>\n

Leandra Becerra<\/a> de Equality Now afirm\u00f3: \u201cEn las Am\u00e9ricas, lo que falta son compromisos estatales concretos para abordar la MGF\/C: datos confiables, marcos legales claros y presupuestos estables. La orientaci\u00f3n regional del sistema interamericano puede ayudar a definir la base m\u00ednima que los Estados deben cumplir para garantizar la protecci\u00f3n de las ni\u00f1as\u201d.<\/p>\n

PR\u00d3XIMOS PASOS PARA PROTEGER A MUJERES Y NI\u00d1AS FRENTE A LA MGF\/C<\/b><\/h3>\n

Lo que la regi\u00f3n necesita ahora de la CIDH es una orientaci\u00f3n clara que ayude a los Estados a fortalecer c\u00f3mo identifican, previenen y responden a la MGF\/C. Los est\u00e1ndares regionales pueden apoyar a los gobiernos a mejorar la recolecci\u00f3n de datos, adoptar definiciones legales precisas, coordinar entre los sistemas de salud, justicia y gobernanza ind\u00edgena, y asignar recursos estables para la prevenci\u00f3n y los servicios para sobrevivientes. Esto dar\u00eda a defensoras, defensores y comunidades referencias m\u00e1s s\u00f3lidas al exigir acciones nacionales efectivas para proteger a mujeres y ni\u00f1as. <\/span><\/p>\n
