This paper presents an analysis of different positions on female genital cutting, either legitimising the practice or challenging it. The framework it offers has been developed from cultural psychological theory and qualitative data collected in Maasai communities around Loitokitok and Magadi, Kajiado County, and Samburu communities around Wamba, Samburu County, in Kenya. Over the course of one month, 94 respondents were interviewed using maximum variation sampling. Triangulation took place by means of participant observation of significant events, such as alternative rites, participation in daily activities and informal talks while staying at traditional homesteads and kraals. The framework adds to understanding of why more contextual approaches and holistic interventions are required to bring an end to female genital cutting.
本文对女性割礼的不同立场进行了分析，这些立场要么使这种做法合法化，要么对其提出挑战。它所提供的框架是根据文化心理学理论以及在肯尼亚卡贾多县洛伊托基托克和马加迪周围的马赛社区，以及桑布鲁县万巴周围的桑布鲁社区收集的定性数据发展而来的。在一个月的时间里，采用最大差异抽样法对94名受访者进行了访谈。通过对重要事件的参与观察进行三角测量，这些事件包括替代仪式、参与日常活动以及在传统家园和畜栏停留期间的非正式交谈。该框架有助于理解为什么需要更多基于情境的方法和全面干预措施来终结女性割礼。
