Female genital mutilation (FGM) is still a common practice in many countries in
Africa and the Middle East. Understanding the determinants of FGM can lead to
more active interventions to prevent this harmful practice. The goal of this
study is to explore factors associated with FGM behavior among Iranian mothers
and their daughters. Based on Ajzen's theory of planned behavior, we examined the
predictive value of attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and
several socio-demographic variables in relation to mothers' intentions to
mutilate their daughters. A paper-and-pencil survey was conducted among 300
mothers (mean age = 33.20, SD = 9.09) who had at least one daughter and who lived
in Ravansar, a county in Kermanshah Province in Iran. Structural equation
modeling was used to investigate the relationships among the study variables. Our
results indicate that attitude is the strongest predictor of mothers' intentions
to allow their daughters to undergo FGM, followed by subjective norms. Compared
to younger mothers, older mothers have more positive attitudes toward FGM,
perceive themselves as having more control over their behavior and demonstrate a
greater intention to allow their daughter to undergo FGM. Furthermore, we found
that less educated mothers and mothers living in rural areas had more positive
attitudes toward FGM and feel more social pressure to allow FGM. The model
accounts for 93 percent of the variance in the mothers' intentions to allow their
daughters to undergo FGM. Intervention programs that want to decrease FGM might
focus primarily on converting mothers' neutral or positive feelings toward FGM
into negative attitudes and on alleviating the perceived social pressure to
mutilate one's daughter. Based on our findings, we provide recommendations about
how to curtail mothers' intentions to allow their daughters to undergo FGM.
