This study is a Descriptive research regarding All FGM/C with the following characteristics:

Author(s): Johanne Sundby, Birgitta Essén,and R. Elise B. Johansen 
FGM/C Type(s): All
Health area of focus: N/A.

Objective: To present a review of strategies and attitude change on FGM
Study Population: Relied on articles
Findings: The issue of harm reduction is indeed controversial,as the bottom line message is to end the practice altogether. If one thinks that taking one step at a time and involving professionals in the procedure will eventually eliminate the practice,it may violate the very reason for medical people to practice “do no harm.” This is an issue that should be transparent and heavily debated everywhere. To perform FGM for “harm reduction” may as well turn into yet another profit operation for some health workers,because consumers ask for it. To have solid evidence on the damage done to women is therefore important
