Tiivistelmä
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) has been defined as consciously and intentionally cutting or partial removal of female external organs for reproduction. Its root causes, practices and the adverse effects on girls and women are hereby presented in this thesis.
The low level of awareness and the lack of educational materials for the nursing students, prompted an obligation to develop educational material on the practice of FGM and educate the nursing students and create awareness among the public. The study embraces a crucial, intuitive, and iterative initiative practice based PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) method in studying the effect of the FGM on girls and women and developing useful material for the LAB University, teaching nursing students and creating awareness on how FGM affects Sexual Health. FGM violates the sexual rights and integrity of the victims.
Trends in FGM prevalence paint a mixed picture, with some countries in East Asia reporting an increase and vice versa in East, West, Central and North Africa. A notable initiative to control FGM is increasing awareness and education of the public and training midwives on FGM issues and their adverse effects. It was concluded that teaching about female genital mutilation in schools, voluntarily, will help prevent the continuation of such a practice that deprives the human rights of another human being.
