“…vaginal douching among Muslim women for the sake of ghusl [25], using misoprostol as an abortifacient by Saudi Arab women [26] or genital mutilation among African communities [27]. The present article supplements this literature and exposes the difficulties of Jewish Israeli women in obtaining adequate DI treatments owing to fundamental religious prohibitions.…”

Aim: The objective of this article is to explore how Israeli Jewish women cope with the religious prohibition on sperm donation and the scarcity of Israeli donors, and to estimate the number of available sperm donors in Israel. Methods: A key word search was employed to retrieve relevant Hebrew and English sources; additional information was collected via interviews with two sperm donors and twelve donor insemination patients. Results: Rabbinical instructions focus on married women and refrain from acknowledging the growing number of non-married donor insemination patients. Non-married women follow the restrictions relevant to married women and hence refrain from purchasing Jewish sperm. Israeli sperm banks offer donations of Jewish donors whose number is estimated at a maximum of 140 and a minimum of 50 for the entire Jewish population of 6.2 million. In order to abide by American Society for Reproductive Medicine recommendations, the number of available donors should optimally be six times larger. The scarcity of sperm donors drives the private import of American sperm donations. Conclusion: Reconsideration of the rabbinical prohibition to allow collecting sperm for donating to women who wish to have a baby is needed for the sake of increasing the donor pool, along with measures to ensure donors' privacy and dignity.

“…Yet, this broad definition generates several applicative problems because, literally understood, it would include cosmetic interventions such as genital piercing and genitoplasty that are broadly spread in Western cosmetic clinics, while the WHO only aimed at referring to ritual (read: Other's) interventions only. To what extent Western interventions should be included has not been seriously discussed so far (Puppo 2013), confirming the suspect of cultural biases carried by a purportedly medical-based approach.…”

This article focuses on anti-FGM laws aiming at eliminating gender-based violence. It uses intersectionality to question the underlying conceptualization of gender-based violence, and examines how the problem is represented, and which solutions have been proposed by French, British and Italian laws, showing their inconsistencies and biases. It also considers silenced dissenting voices by focusing on the proposal of “circumcision without cutting”. The main goal is to uncover how anti-FGM laws generate new forms of vulnerability for African descent women in Europe, calling for a more complex articulation of gender at the intersection with migration status, ethnicity and neo-colonial relations.

“…Some have advocated that FGCS could be included among FGM/C type IV 6; others have drawn parallels in terms of cultural and social pressures leading women and girls to ask for female genital modifications, which can be named FGM/C or FGCS according to the socio‐cultural setting in different regions of the world 7.…”

Key Clinical MessageNontherapeutic female genital modifications can cause short‐ and long‐term consequences. Caregivers should promote women's self knowledge on genitals' anatomy and physiology, and psychophysical and sexual health. They should also inform on possible negative consequences of vulvar nontherapeutic alterations requested and avoid the medicalization of female genital mutilation.
