Fighting to make the cut: Female genital cutting Studied within the context of cultural relativism (2007)
This study is a Exploratory research regarding All FGM/C with the following characteristics:
Author(s): Rachelle Cassman
FGM/C Type(s): All
Health area of focus: None.
Objective: To focus on a discussion of female genital cutting within the context of cultural relativism
Study Population: Relied on articles
Findings: The study concluded that regardless of how FGM/C conflicts with American sensibilities,international movement toward an elimination of its existence is unlikely without thorough regard and understanding for the cultural,religious,and ethnic rationales that perpetuate its practice. A fair solution is needed,not to impose Western values on Easterners,but rather to prevent health issues among practicing populations and to empower women who continue to be subordinated through this painful and injurious practice
