Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a recognized form of gender-based violence and a public health concern with profound sexual, reproductive, and psychological consequences. While healthcare interventions aim to address these consequences, the perspectives of affected women and healthcare providers (HCPs) remain underexplored. This project aims to enhance knowledge about the healthcare needs, experiences, and attitudes of affected women and the healthcare providers (HCPs) who treat them. Additionally, this study examines the relationship between attitudes toward FGM/C-related healthcare and support for the continuation of the practice. The research will be conducted in two phases using qualitative and quantitative methods. In the first phase, interviews with FGM/C-affected women and HCPs will explore perceived needs and experiences regarding healthcare interventions. The second phase will employ survey-based research to assess attitudes and associated factors among a broader sample of affected women and HCPs. Statistical analyses, including logistic regression and latent class analysis, will identify patterns of attitudes toward FGM/C-related care. By generating new knowledge on FGM/C-related healthcare, this project will inform policies and healthcare strategies to improve access, trust, and effectiveness of care. The findings will contribute to evidence-based interventions that better support affected women and HCPs' competence of FGM/C-related health needs.
