CORREA VENTURA, Nieves. Childhood and Gender Violence: Prevention of Female Genital Mutilation from Healthcare sector. Index Enferm [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.1-2, pp.51-55.  Epub 19-Out-2020. ISSN 1699-5988.

Objective:

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is considered a type of gender-based violence. It is usually done in childhood, seriously affecting the health of these girls and women. The objective of this work is to analyze the health protocols created to prevent FGM in Spain.

Methods:

A documentary research has been carried out by consulting the official websites of the central government and the Autonomous Regions. Spanish protocols on action and prevention against FGM were included.

Results:

5 guides were selected after excluding protocols that were not exclusively sanitary and those prior to 2009. These guides share prevention guidelines for health professionals based on the age of the girl at risk.

Conclusions:

In order to prevent FGM, the analyzed guides defend transversal health training, including ethical and legal aspects. They propose resources to conduct the interview and guidelines for action according to age.
