Application no. 14778/18 Aida TOURÉ against the Netherlands lodged on 22 March 2018

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

As in the previously communicated cases of Soumah v. the Netherlands (no. 61452/15), Chaloub and Camara v. the Netherlands (no. 7338/16), Magassouba v. the Netherlands (no. 37153/17), Kake and Camara v. the Netherlands (no. 63913/17) and Barry v. the Netherlands (no. 66238/16), the present application concerns a female rejected asylum-seeker from Guinea who fears that her minor daughter will be subjected to female genital mutilation (hereafter “FGM”) in Guinea and that she will not be able to provide protection given the high FGM rate in Guinea in general and within her ethnic group in particular as well as the social and cultural pressure. She also fears that she herself will be subjected to further FGM. The applicant alleges that their removal to Guinea will be in breach of Article 3 of the Convention.
