This study is a Exploratory research regarding All FGM/C with the following characteristics:
Author(s): Afi A.
FGM/C Type(s): All
Health area of focus: None.
Objective: This thesis identified the critical life event which caused turning points to occur at individual level and also examined the mechanisms that explained the change experienced by the migrant women
Study Population: Migrant women
Findings: The key findings enabled us to theorise and to propose a model of five phases (the suppression,the awakening,the clash,the reappropriation of self and the reconciliation),which explain the process of change of attitudes towards FGM. Our study provides avenues to develop strategies to promote the abandonment of FGM.
