Outline of proposed changes

[edit]

I plan on adding to the legality and cultural reasons of female genital mutilation / cutting. The Health and Human Rights article will help me with the legality/legal section of the article, because it provides ways that countries have tried preventing it. Along with explaining how knowing the culture and traditions are imperative to know in order to implement said laws and policies. The Journal of International Women's Studies will aid in the cultural significance of FGM/C within African, and more specifically Seirra Leone's, society. It explains the Bondo tradition, its' importance, and that it is a big part of their culture. The Obstetrics and Gynecology International journal will help with the cultural aspect as well, since it provides research on how FGM/C is reported and/or of women's observed status. It helps with seeing the accuracy in how many women have gone through FGM/C in the society. In the main page it doesn't have much on legislation of FGM/C in Sierra Leone, these three articles will help with explaining why there are complications with implementing laws/policy, the cultural and non-cultural reasons for FGM/C, and the prevalence.
