Immigration changed the ethnic composition of Western European societies. The new populations brought a series of culturally determined practices that challenged the liberal framework of values of the receiving states. Despite the existence of important variations between the official discourses and the actual policies finally implemented, the responses to those challenges varied with the models of integration defined by each country to deal with ethnic diversity. In this article, we study the policies designed and implemented by the United Kingdom and France against "female genital mutilation" practices, analyzing how both British and French policies affected these types of practices.

Key Words: citizenship • ethnic diversity • multiculturalism • women's rights • female genital mutilation
