Thank you for sharing your story. Are the perpetrators paid for doing this? If so, can they find another way to be paid/earn money?
Hello Brad, Thank you for your question! We have seen, oftentimes, that those who perform the cutting may provide this "service" as a source of income. In some communities, these individuals may be referred to as a "traditional practitioner" or "traditional cutter," that the local community trusts to perform FGM/C. Given the diversity of the communities that may practice FGM/C, we wanted to share this article with you that reviews the different strategies that have been implemented to teach new "income-generating skills" and educate and raise awareness about FGM/C to discourage continuing the practice. Additionally, something less spoken about is the trend toward medicalization of FGM/C, where in some countries performing FGM/C is legal within healthcare settings, or in others where FGM/C may still be performed illegally by some healthcare providers. Here are two blog posts from Sahiyo's website that reflect on this situation. Please feel free to refer to our FAQ sheet for other questions you may have or email our Training and Technical Assitance Coordinator at aries@sahiyo.org.
