Doctors ordered to perform ‘virginity tests’ on underage girls in Russia
Doctors in Russia have reportedly been instructed to perform virginity tests on underage girls.
The Russian Investigative Committee has instructed medical professionals to gain evidence of sexual activity in girls under the age of 16, according to the Mail Online. The order has sparked public outcry from gynaecologists and politicians alike who believe the checks will dissuade young girls from seeing the doctor when they need to.
However health minister Vladimir Shuldyakov said doctors must follow the order and “inform police about all cases when virginity was lost as well as about cases of pregnancies and abortions involving girls under 16 years old.”
The order instructs doctors to check the “integrity of the hymen” and look for signs of damage.
