The Changing Paradigms of FGM

More about the book

The study explores the persistence of female genital mutilation (FGM) in four Iranian provinces, highlighting its decline in areas with anti-cutting programs. Conducted over a decade, it emphasizes the impact of training interventions on reducing circumcision rates among women. Despite the challenges posed by traditional societal norms, evidence suggests that targeted pilot programs can effectively diminish this harmful practice. The research underscores the importance of community engagement in addressing deeply rooted customs.
