Female Circumcision in Sudan: Future Prospects and Strategies for Eradication
Abstract
This document presents an article on Female Circumcision in Sudan: Future Prospects and Strategies for Eradication. Female circumcision seems to be declining slightly in some areas of Sudan. A culturally accepted policy and political commitment to eradicate the practice are needed. Education and economic empowerment of women would help lower support for the practice. A mass media campaign publicizing the risks of female circumcision and the fact that female circumcision is not obligatory for Islamic women would also be helpful.
