BACKGROUND
Female genital cutting, also termed female genital mutilation (FGM), is a damaging practice with no health benefits for girls or women, and is considered to be a violation of children's rights.
METHODS
A cross-sectional, community-based study using interview administered questionnaire to explore knowledge and attitude of people living in a rural area in Minia. Systematic random sampling was used to interview 618 males and females above the age of 18 in the period from September to November 2016.
RESULTS
FGM was performed on 76.6% of females, complications occurred in 35.6% of them. Females demonstrated a higher level of knowledge than males. Nearly 56% of respondents believed that this practice should continue. Females were more supportive of the continuation of FGM than men (60.3% vs. 47.9%). The attitude that FGM is a good practice, knowledge level, women's status and religion were significantly associated with women's willingness to subject their daughters to FGM in the future. Attitude was the only significant predictor associated with men's willingness to subject their daughters to FGM.
CONCLUSION
The strong correlation between social pressure and intentions to carry out FGM means that FGM practice will continue to be embraced among future generations unless policies are put in place to eradicate this practice through empowering females by education and reasonable income.
背景
女性割礼，又称女性生殖器切割，是一种对女孩或妇女没有健康益处的有害做法，被认为是侵犯儿童权利的行为。
方法
采用横断面、基于社区的研究方法，使用访谈式问卷对米尼亚农村地区的居民进行调查，以了解他们对这一做法的知识和态度。2016 年 9 月至 11 月期间，采用系统随机抽样方法对 618 名 18 岁以上的男性和女性进行访谈。
结果
76.6%的女性接受了割礼，其中 35.6%出现了并发症。女性的知识水平高于男性。近 56%的受访者认为这种做法应该继续下去。女性比男性更支持继续进行割礼（60.3%对 47.9%）。认为割礼是一种好做法、知识水平、妇女地位和宗教与女性未来让女儿接受割礼的意愿显著相关。态度是唯一与男性让女儿接受割礼的意愿显著相关的预测因素。
结论
社会压力与实施割礼的意愿之间存在强烈的相关性，这意味着除非通过教育和合理收入赋予女性权力来消除这种做法，否则割礼做法将在后代中继续存在。
