Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of women’s education and their socio-cultural factors affecting abolishing of FGM in eight states in Sudan during year 2019 . METHODOLOGY: A descriptive study, conducted in nine maternity hospitals in eight states in Sudan, for primigravidae delivered vaginally during 2019. After an informed consent; women with FGM delivered vaginally, were included for the study and those without FGM were the control. Data was collected by trained data collectors and resident registrars in obstetrics and gynecology using a structured format, and analyzed using SPSS version 22.0
RESULTS: A total of 10651 primigravidae, delivered vaginally during 2019 in eight states in Sudan were studied. Of them,7715 (72.4%) had FGM and 2936 (27.6%) had no FGM, with different variation between states, the highest in West Kurdofan 84.2%, and the lowest in Kassala 40.5%. Sisters of participants have a lower rate of FGM; 4890 (57.8%). Rural residents have a higher rates of FGM; 5255 (68.1%) compared to urban or camps. Women with FGM; 4407 (57.1%) have type II, 2787 (36.1%) type III (infibulation), 521 (06.8%) type I, and 3493 (45.3%) of them had reinfibulation. Type II and III FGM; 2628 (34.4%) and 2186 (28.3%) are higher in rural than urban or camps, however; Khartoum has the highest type II. Mothers of all participants have literacy rate of 40.9%, those of participants with FGM at 38.7%, and of those without FGM at 47.3% (PV= 0.001). Participants with FGM have literacy rate of 75.6% and those without FGM at 88.7%. Participants with type II FGM have a rate of 88.3% and those of type I and III have rates of 62.2% and 69.1% respectively (PV= 0.001) . CONCLUSION: Urbanization and improving the level of education of women and girls have significant potentials in reducing and modifying FGM and reducing reinfibulation of affected individuals.
