Author(s): Kisanet Abraha Seare
FGM/C Type(s): All
Health area of focus: None.
Objective: To explore the potential challenges that could have contributed to the difficulty of achieving ‘Zero tolerance’ to FGM/C
Study Population: Relied on articles
Findings: The research argued that the issue of FGM/C was caught in debates of polarized positions loaded with abstract meanings and had moved its focus from the ‘woman’ or the ‘girl’ in the practicing communities. It showed the tendency of the issue to be driven by the international community and hence its limitation in reaching the very communities it intended to change. It also highlighted the lack of accuracy in basic the knowledge about prevalence of FGM/C
