BACKGROUND: Global efforts to end female genital mutilation (FGM) have
intensified in recent decades because of the rising awareness that such a
practice is an act of extreme violence against women and girls. Articles on FGM
have been published highlighting the combined efforts of international and
non-governmental organizations, governments, as well as religious and civil
society groups to end the practice. However, the consequences of this research
are not well known, and it seems that the socioeconomic aspects of the practice
are underreported. OBJECTIVE: This review aims to characterize over a 40-year
period the scientific output on the consequences of FGM in African countries, the
most affected region known for the high prevalence of FGM, and review data on the
socioeconomic consequences of the practice. DESIGN: A systematic review of
literature was done, looking at the following databases: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL,
BDSP, Web of Science, PsycINFO, FRANCIS, Sociological Abstracts, WHOLIS, RERO,
and SAPHIR. The analysis was limited to articles concerning the African
continent, published in English and French, from January 1, 1972, to December 31,
2011. RESULTS: One hundred ninety-eight articles were reviewed. More than half of
the articles were published during the last decade of the study period. The
majority of papers were published in biomedical journals (64.1%). Most studies
looked at Africa as a region (33.3%). Nigeria was the single country most
investigated (19.2%), followed by Egypt (10.6%). Most first authors were
affiliated to non-African countries (60.6%): among them 21.2% were US-based, 4%
were from African institutions, and 16.2% from Nigeria.The medical and
psychological consequences (51.5%) and the prevalence and ethics of the practice
(34.4%) were the most frequently investigated topics. The socioeconomic
consequences were addressed in a minority of the papers (14.1%): they were
classified into direct economic consequences (2.5%), school attendance (1%),
marriageability (2%), sexual and marital consequences (3.5%), fertility (2.5%),
domestic violence (1%), and discrimination (1.5%). CONCLUSIONS: The publication
of articles on the consequences of FGM is increasing, but there is little
research on the socioeconomic consequences of the practice. More scientific data
focusing on this dimension is necessary to strengthen prevention, advocacy, and
intervention campaigns.
