Author(s): Shahid,U.,& Rane,A.
FGM/C Type(s): All
Health area of focus: None.
Objective: To establish views of Sub-Saharan African,migrant males residing in Townsville,Australia have on FGM.
Study Population: Migrant males on Townsville Austrailia
Findings: This study examined the attitudes of a young,Sub-Saharan African,migrant,male cohort residing in Australia. This adds to the literature base by establishing the perceptions and associated socio-demographic variables of this unique and influential subset of the migrant population. This directly facilitates the development of interventional strategies against FGM by highlighting those most likely to have an attitudinal support in favour of FGM. Consequentially,this ‘at risk’ group can be more effectively focussed on interventional programmes and be further investigated in larger scale studies.
