Abstract

Health and social service providers who immigrated from regions with high Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) prevalence rates can provide unique insights on serving women with FGM/C experience. Specifically, we investigated African immigrant service providers’ knowledge, experience, attitudes about FGM/C, and their recommendations on how to provide services to immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa who have experienced FGM/C. Derived from a larger study, interviews of 10 African service providers were selectively analyzed with a particular attention to cultural insights that could inform the framework in Western destination countries on how to serve women and girls with FGM/C experience.
