Listening to African Voices: Female Genital Mutilation/ Cutting among Immigrants in Hamburg (Knowledge, Attitudes and Practice)

---

Listening to African Voices: Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting among Immigrants in Hamburg (Knowledge, Attitudes and Practice) examines the complex realities of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) within African immigrant communities living in Hamburg by exploring their knowledge, attitudes, and patterns of practice. Using qualitative and quantitative approaches, the book highlights how cultural identity, migration experiences, community pressure, and evolving perspectives influence the persistence or rejection of FGM/C in the diaspora. It reveals the tensions between tradition and the legal–health frameworks of the host country, while also documenting shifts in awareness and the growing resistance to the practice—especially among women and younger generations. By amplifying the voices of community members themselves, the study offers nuanced insights that can inform culturally sensitive prevention strategies, strengthen support systems, and promote human rights–based approaches to ending FGM/C.
