Abstract [en]
  • The scarcity of criminal court cases on FGM aligns with research indicating that migration often leads to abandoning the practice.
  • The prevailing public discourse around FGM paves the way for epistemic injustice.
  • An analysis of Swedish FGM prosecutions reveals a risk that stereotypes based on ethnicity and religion may influence court decisions.
  • The legal handling of suspected cases must be conducted in accordance with the rule of law.
