Factors Determining Women Support for Discontinuation of Female Genital Mutilation in Sudan
2020
Overview
Despite the efforts exerted by the NGOs and the social activists to eradicate Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), it is still prevalent in Sudanese communities, especially in rural and remote areas. This paper aims to examine the factors behind Sudanese women support for the discontinuation of FGM/C using socio-economic and demographic data collected by Multiple Indicator Cluster Sample (MICS, 2014) and a logistic regression model. The findings showed that the factors found to be significantly associated with Sudanese women support for its discontinuation include: age, education, marital status, place of residence, region, wealth index quintiles, women's ability to make decisions, being circumcised, and being aware of HIV/AIDS. The study recommended, among others, to conduct further qualitative research to enhance our understanding of the factors behind the perpetuation of the practice.
