Female circumcision in Indonesia: between policy and practice

Foto oleh : Reni Kartikawati

Introduction
FGM/C is one of the complex and sensitive topics in the international debate in
the past decades. International communities usually highlight the practice of FGM/C
in African countries which perceived as harmful practice for women. Along with increasing immigrants to Europe, who perform such practices, the debate is also heated
in the European countries. Meanwhile, the practice of FGM/C in Indonesia receives
less attention in the international level. Perhaps there are several reasons. First, the
paucity of FGM/C studies in Indonesia and the lack of international publication.
Sweileh’s study (2016) shows that no single publication on FGM/C in Indonesia
between 1930 – 2015. Second, some experts considered the practice of FGM/C in
Indonesia is less harmful with no physical damage if compared to such practice in
African countries (Ramali 1951 cited in Feillard & Marcoes, 1998, p. 352; Putranti
et.al. 2003). In Indonesia, FGM/C has been discussed as cultural practice to “Is-
lamize” whether in ceremony or secretly done (Feillard & Marcoes, 1998). Although
FGM/C is often related to Islam, yet there are Muslim communities who do not
practice it. The recent survey of Riskesdas (Basic Health Research) in 2013 revealed
that 1 of 2 women has been circumcised (Balitbang Kemenkes 2013).
This paper will address the FGM/C, we use the term female circumcision, based
on our qualitative study in 7 provinces throughout the archipelago in 2015. The first
part will present main findings of our study by highlighting variation and reasons of
female circumcision practice in the studied areas. It will followed by explaining the
policy dynamics on female circumcision which shows the government ambiguity on
this issue. The last part will discuss FC in the context of socio-cultural dynamics of
the contemporary Indonesian society.

Foto oleh : Reni Kartikawati

Female Genital Circumcision (FGC) is internationally banned as it violates girls’ human rights and reproductive health. Yet, it has still been applied in some countries as in almost all regions in Indonesia. Through its research, the Gender and Sexuality Study Centre, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Indonesia funded by HIVOS comprehensively described the complexity of FGC in Indonesia. The study was conducted in seven provinces using mixed method techniques, which included survey, observation, FGD and in-depth interviews. The study has got ethical qualification from the Faculty of Public Health Universitas Indonesia No. 132/H2.F10/PPM.00.02/2015. The study’s findings presented the complexity of FGC in which they differ in practice in one another accordingly to the pluralistic of Indonesian society. Although some practices were only symbolic action, there were practices which qualified to be categorized as Clitoridotomy (type 1) and other unclassified action (type IV) of WHO classifications to intervene girls’ sexual organ. The study suggested that it is easier to eliminate the FGC in plural-urban society as it gives individual opportunity to independently choose not to do the FGC. Therefore, empowering and raising the awareness of the girls as individual will enlighten the society point of view to the risks of FGC to women’s reproductive health.
