Female genital mutilation: have we made progress? (2003)
This study is a Exploratory research regarding All FGM/C with the following characteristics:
Author(s): Toubia NF,Sharief EH
FGM/C Type(s): All
Health area of focus: None.
Objective: To establish wether there is progress in the abandonment of FGM
Study Population: not stated
Findings: This review documents substantial changes towards the practice of FGM in the past 20 years. Although part of the change maybe the result of changing social and economic conditions unrelated to direct anti-FGM projects-such as urbanization,women’s education and smaller family size-the scale of the change over a relatively short period of time suggests that at least some of the project investment has reaped benefits. It also indicates that these efforts are currently at a crucial point in their history with emerging clarity on what may be the most effective methods and approaches.
