Abstract

BACKGROUND

The central role of males in female reproductive health issues in patriarchal societies makes them an important group in the eradication of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C).

OBJECTIVE

To determine knowledge about and attitudes to FGM/C among male adolescents, and their preparedness to protect their future daughters from it.

METHODS

A cross-sectional survey among male adolescent students in Ilorin, Nigeria. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire after consent had been obtained from them or their parents. Statistical analysis was with SPSS version 20.0 (IBM, USA). A p-value of <0.05 was taken as significant.

RESULTS

Of 1 536 male adolescents (mean age 15.09 (standard deviation 1.84) years, range 14 - 19), 1 184 (77.1%) were aware of FGM/C, 514 (33.5%) supported female circumcision, 362 (23.6%) would circumcise their future daughters, 420 (27.3%) were of the opinion that FGM/C had benefits, mostly as a necessity for womanhood (109, 7.1%), and 627 (40.8%) perceived it as wickedness against females; 546 (35.5%) were aware of efforts to eradicate FGM/C, and 42.2% recommended education as the most important intervention to achieve this.

CONCLUSION

Education and involvement in advocacy may transform male adolescents into agents for eradication of FGM/C.

摘要

背景

在父权制社会中，男性在女性生殖健康问题上发挥着核心作用，这使他们成为根除女性生殖器切割（FGM/C）的重要群体。

目的

确定男性青少年对FGM/C的了解程度和态度，以及他们保护未来女儿免受其害的意愿。

方法

在尼日利亚伊洛林对男性青少年学生进行横断面调查。在获得参与者或其父母同意后，他们完成了一份自填式问卷。使用SPSS 20.0版（美国IBM公司）进行统计分析。p值<0.05被视为具有统计学意义。

结果

在1536名男性青少年中（平均年龄15.09岁（标准差1.84），年龄范围14 - 19岁），1184人（77.1%）知晓FGM/C，514人（33.5%）支持女性割礼，362人（23.6%）会对其未来女儿进行割礼，420人（27.3%）认为FGM/C有好处，主要是作为成年女性的必要条件（109人，7.1%），627人（40.8%）认为这是对女性的恶行；546人（35.5%）知晓根除FGM/C的努力，42.2%推荐教育作为实现这一目标的最重要干预措施。
