“…The tendency among these writers was to reflect on LME from a religious and ethnocentric perspective. The researcher studied writers such as, for example, Bishop Bigirumwami who described LME in Rwanda as ''inspired by the same devil'' (Fusaschi, 2012) but was unable to find definitive guidance on how to collect and analyze data in collaboration with women as study participants. LME is a practice that is taught as part of initiation rites of adolescent girls into womanhood and is described in recent qualitative literature as women's ''secret'' (Bagnol & Mariano, 2012;Fusaschi, 2012;Tamale, 2006).…”

In east and southern Africa, women's secrets also include guidance on FGMo other than LME, such as intravaginal insertion of substances or intravaginal cleansing and instruction on sexuality, hygiene, and marriage that girls receive during their initiation rites (Bagnol, 2013;Bagnol & Mariano, 2012).…”

“…In recent qualitative and anthropologic research, it is possible to find the perspectives on LME of some women insiders of this FGMo from eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (Grassivaro Gallo, Mbuyi, & Bertoletti, 2010), Lesotho (Khau, 2012), Malawi (Pétursdóttir, 2010), Mozambique (Bagnol & Mariano, 2012), Rwanda (Fusaschi, 2012), and Uganda (Parikh, 2005). The only recent example of mixed-methods research that is framed in a public health approach is the gender, sexuality, and vaginal practices study in Mozambique (Hull et al, 2011;Martínez Pérez, Bagnol, & Mariano, 2014).…”

A study on how Zambian migrants living in Cape Town perceive and experience the implications of labial elongation on women's health was conducted. Labia minora elongation (LME) is a genital modification that some women in east and southern Africa practice. This tradition is not common in Western Cape province (southwestern part of South Africa). The aim of this article is to discuss the methodological choices made in the design and conduct of this study, in which a White European male interviewed the female study participants on the health implications of a practice that is considered a woman's private issue. Constructivist grounded theory informed by a feminist perspective was chosen as the most suitable methodological approach to enable cogeneration of knowledge with the female participants. The methods and tools used by the lead investigator facilitated access to the participants' emic views. Grounded theory methodology holds the potential to be an appropriate methodological approach for researchers who seek to erode the power imbalances influencing research processes that aim to explore the associated meanings and health implications of female genital modifications, such as LME, as narrated by the women who practice them.

“…Their paternal aunts, grandmothers or their female peers instruct them. The most commonly cited motivations reported by those who practice it are that it is a requisite for marriage, a socializing rite of passage that determines entrance into womanhood, and a physical feature that enhances sexual pleasure (Grassivaro Gallo & Villa, 2006;Koster & Price, 2008;Fusaschi, 2010Fusaschi, , 2012Martínez Pérez & Namulondo, 2011;Martínez Pérez, Tomáz Aznar & Bagnol, 2013).…”

The risks and benefits for the health of women who practice LME are, however, still under-explored.…”

International audienceThis article is based on the study of the forms of the sexualisation of children as constructed by the French authorities between 2000 and 2013. It shows that approaches addressing the transition from childhood to adulthood have combined two types of discourse. The first of these traces the contours of the nature of the child who is to be protected from the disorders related to gender and to growing up more generally; the second draws on the sexualisation of children in disadvantaged urban areas to designate ‘foreigners from within’ and reinforces an ethnocultural conception of the nation. The article concludes with reflections on how the issue of age-related child development is addressed in globalised capitalist societie
