This article will examine forced nontherapeutic genital cutting (FNGC) through the lens of feminist theory and in relation to the concept of social justice in nursing. I will address the underlying assumptions of feminism and how they apply to the two currently legal forms of FNGC in North America: male infant circumcision and intersex infant/child genital cutting. Through a literature review and critical analysis of these practices, I will illustrate the challenges they present when considering the role of nurses in promoting social justice. If feminism asserts that bodily integrity, autonomy, and fundamental human rights are essential components of gender equality, it follows that these must be afforded to all genders without discrimination. Historically, there have been few feminists who have made this connection, yet a growing and diverse movement of people is challenging the frameworks in which we consider genital cutting in our society. Nurses are positioned well to be at the forefront of this cause and have a clear ethical duty to advocate for the elimination of all forms of FNGC.
本文将通过女权主义理论视角，并结合护理领域的社会正义概念，审视强制非治疗性生殖器切割（FNGC）。我将探讨女权主义的基本假设，以及它们如何适用于北美目前两种合法的FNGC形式：男婴包皮环切术和对间性婴儿/儿童的生殖器切割。通过对这些做法的文献综述和批判性分析，我将说明在考虑护士在促进社会正义中的作用时，它们所带来的挑战。如果女权主义主张身体完整性、自主性和基本人权是性别平等的重要组成部分，那么这些权利必须毫无歧视地赋予所有性别。从历史上看，很少有女权主义者建立起这种联系，但越来越多、形形色色的人群正在挑战我们在社会中看待生殖器切割的框架。护士处于有利位置，能够站在这一事业的前沿，并且有明确的道德义务倡导消除所有形式的FNGC。
