Community engagement for eradicating Female Genital Mutilation(FGM): Examples from Kenya, Somaliland and Sweden

By Prof. Beth Maina Ahlberg ;Prof. international Health-Skaraborg institute for research and Development & Sociology department UU.

After decades of research, various legislative, grassroot and civil society interventions, practices of female genital mutilations persist in many countries of the world. This presentation employs a critical discourse in analysing the different policy interventions; grassroots involvements /interventions, policy deployments and research done towards addressing the persistent FGM in Kenya, Somaliland and Sweden. The comparative study also highlights the shortcomings of each of the strategies in the three countries.
