“…The study shows that female respondents have over two times the odds of supporting the continuation of FGC than men (OR 2.19, CI 1.24–3.85). This result is consistent with the study in Spain which stated that FGC is maintained due to social and family pressure, transmitted from generation to generation and silenced by the victims (women themselves) [25]. Another study stated that, in communities where FGC is normative, women view the practice as an important aspect of their life [26].…”

“…This study is supported by a study done in Spain on the impact of FGC on sexual and reproductive health of mutilated women. In a study conducted in Spain female participants have testified that though FGC affected their sexual and reproductive life, the practice is maintained due to social and family pressure [25]. Another research that agrees with the present study states the fact that there are countries where more men than women are advocating ending FGC [33].…”

Introduction. Female genital cutting (FGC) is a harmful traditional practice that violates women's rights and threatens their health. Although much work has been done to tackle this practice in Ethiopia, the prevalence remains very high in Somali and Harari regions. This study aims to investigate the attitude towards FGC of young people (boys and girls) in Somali and Harari regions of Eastern Ethiopia. Methods. A cross-sectional quantitative study was carried out in Somali and Harari regions from October to December 2015. Two districts were purposely selected from the two regions, and a stratified random sampling technique was employed to select 480 subjects from the randomly selected schools. Results. Out of 480 questionnaires distributed, 478 (99.6%) respondents filled the questionnaires and returned them. The finding of the study reveals that 86% of study participants condemn the practice of FGC. Almost 59% of male participants from both study areas preferred to marry uncircumcised girls. Being a female and being a Muslim are significantly associated with the support toward the continuation of the FGC (P < 0.05). Conclusion. Although the study demonstrates a positive attitude towards the abandonment of FGC, there is a need to increase the knowledge about the position of Islam in FGC and to educate women about the harmful effect of FGC.

“…Siles and Solano (2009) describe the three cultural moments that identify the level of acculturation or social and communicative integration analyzing the impact of each one of them (multicultural, intercultural and transcultural) in the maintenance, questioning or abandonment of traditional rites and practices as the case of FGM. In Spain, work has been carried out in which women who have suffered FGM are given voice and visibility, such as the Pastor thesis (2014) or the work carried out in Murcia by Ballesteros et al (2014). Jiménez Ruiz (2015) analyzes FGM from the perspective of men focusing on ethnomethodology and also in the same geographical area.…”

Given the need for women who have suffered Female Genital Mutilation, reflect on the true nature of this practice and become aware of the underlying reality of it, it is based on the objective of identifying the factors that affect FGM and its impact through the experiences of women who have suffered it. The paradigm of departure is the hermeneutic and the sociocritical, The principles of cultural heritage and phenomenology, constitute the theoretical basis of the study that will adopt a gender approach using the perspectives provided by Bordieu (habitus) and Durkheim (logical conformism).Methodologically, the in-depth interview was used as a data collection technique and for its analysis the Dialectical Structural Model of Care. The sample consists of a single case that will serve as a basis for expanding it in subsequent studies. Results: the patriarchally regulated culture is the breeding ground of this "tradition" that has a very marked socializing component in diverse cultures and religions. The option of refusing to experience this practice leads to the absolute marginalization of the "rebellious" woman and also of the family. The habitus and the logical conformism facilitate the maintenance of female genital mutilation as a rite of passage with an institutional character that is subjectively and socially accepted by the communities that practice it.Conclusions: the essential tool to combat female genital mutilation is critical thinking in the context of transculturality that favors the opening of the feminine world to plural ways of thinking and behavior. It is the women themselves who have experienced this practice who have the potential pedagogic to fight against its eradication.

“…Similarly, the authors point out that one of the characteristics shared by these women is their low educational level (9) . In addition to the social and cultural factors that may have a negative impact on the achievement of this MDG (3) , there is also a negative repercussion linked to the various long-term health consequences derived from FGM, such as: urinary retention and infections (10) , psychological disorders such as post-traumatic stress, or relationship problems with their companion, such as anorgasmia, vaginismus, frigidity, refusal of sexual intercourse and dyspareunia (4,(10)(11)(12) . Consequently, justifications based on gender discrimination perpetuate this kind of practice, which perpetuates inequality between men and women, to the benefit of the patriarchy.…”
