Formerly, there was a United Nations Special Rapporteur of the Subcommission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights, regarding Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities on Traditional Practices Affecting the Health of Women and Children. Many of these issues are now covered by the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women - http://www.ohchr.org/english/issues/women/rapporteur/
 
Attached is the 5th Report of the former UN Special Rapporteur on Harmful Traditional Practices, and the Sub-Commission Resolution on Harmful Traditional Practices that followed.
 
Such documents may be useful references as we continue to address Harmful Traditional Practices affecting Women and Girls, and including Female Genital Mutilation.
