The body, in addition to its ontological aspect, is in the intersection of religious, health, politics, economics and social sciences perspectives, and, in the same way as the visible part of the ice, carries a variety of meanings in the social extension beyond the physiological dimension. The body, in the context of bilateral contradictions, especially when the female body is focused on, can be assessed with various side meanings, such as ‘health’/‘sickness’, ‘beauty’/‘sickness’/, ‘ideal’/‘non-ideal’ and ‘born’/‘sickness’. The position of the body can also be an indicator of authority and status. In the context of social gender roles, atherical society, women are subjected to various restrictions on their behavior, such as the place they sit on the table, body languages or sound tones. If the methods of controlling and disciplining the woman’s body, on the one hand, small shoes and weak body pressure, on the other hand, the woman’s life costs the integrity of the body by disregarding her sexuality. A woman's genital injury is both a physical sign and a characteristic of being a concrete indicator of the expectations of the woman's sexuality in society. The struggle for women’s rights in political, economic and everyday life in feminist politics continues with the struggle against genital injuries for women in different regions of the world. Although various achievements have been achieved along with feminist policies, genital injury remains a proof of solitude and reasons for reducing sexual desire. Also, a woman's genital injury can also occur through intergenerational transmission and is often applied by women. The disciplination of sexual life by removing the physical integrity of the woman with genital injury in the transition stage from the child's body to the young woman's body is still a major problem area today. Genital injury, which in the first place disrupts the integrity of the body of a woman, in addition to its psychological consequences, can result in health problems that will continue throughout the life of a woman and even death. On the other hand, it is also clear that the cultural acceptance of a woman's genital injury should be broken. At this point, sociologically, it becomes important to deal with the causes and consequences of a woman's genital injury. The subject of this study is the theoretical consideration of the symbolic meanings of female genital injury and social construction on the basis of the protection of human rights and body integrity from a sociological point of view.
