Female Genital Mutilation Research

1. Aims/Objectives
The aim of this research project is to explore, how effective professionals providing health programs to overcome cultural tradition, such as Female Genital Mutilation. In recent times the number of FGM victims rose. Birmingham and Manchester have the highest relevance of FGM outside of London, The Guardian (2015).
1.2 This research project will focus on existing health programs to identify possible barriers, which determine that specific groups continue FGM. It will be explored how well are professionals informed about FGM, how effective the current health programs are and what could be done to stop finally …show more content…
The aim is, to identify the reasons why people don’t like to engage with the organisation and continue with FGM when they know, that they are putting their children’s health at risk.
2.8“Many individuals from practising communities consider, it to be normal to protect their cultural identity”, UK Government mandatory report (2014). Various reasons have been identified, such as commitment to a companionship with religious duty, pressure and marriage proposal in the relevant communities, Holland (2015). This behaviour can be explained with Bronfenbrenner’s educational theory (1979). Bronfenbrenner believes that the whole environment such as, family, neighbours or communities influence the individual’s development and attitude.
2.9 (2016) A head teacher from a local infant school in Birmingham claimed:” We had meetings in the past with the religious leaders from local communities to tackle FGM. But at the end, they split up because of their discrepancy between themselves.” Considering and indicating how to overcome this …show more content…
Varying theories, such as Bronfenbrenner’s educational theory (1979) and the deductive theory will be considered in the study, as they can approach the hypothesis.
4.2 The disadvantages of the approach are, that in respect of the ethnicity of the human, victims of FGM cannot be questioned. To support the validity and reliability of the research project, qualitative and quantitative sources will be used, such as a questionnaire with 30 professionals from different work areas and levels. 4.3 The quantitative research, Bryman (2012), will be analysed and in a statistic presented. The aim is to explore, if professionals are well informed about FGM and the new applying policies. Furthermore, if professionals are feeling confident to identifying girls at risk. In the anonymous questionnaire dichotomous, multiple choice and open-ended questions will be used, (see Appendix 3) as the gathered data’s will be easy to analysis and they will underpin the deductive theory.
“By analysing the data’s an induction of the findings will take place as they will be implementing the whole exercise”, Bryman
