“Now everyone will learn to appreciate Tshibelabela”
“It’s excellent meat that should be widely available for sale,” argue young Kasaian inhabitants of Lubumbashi, DRC. Some even propose its recognition as cultural heritage. Many non-Kasaian residents, however, express outrage: “they are shedding the blood of dogs in public, saying that soon everyone will be eating dogs like them.” In this context, dogmeat ( Tshibelabela) emerges as a politically charged site through which interethnic tensions, mor…
Harms of the current global anti-FGM campaign
Traditional female genital practices, though long-standing in many cultures, have become the focus of an expansive global campaign against ‘female genital mutilation’ (FGM). In this article, we critically examine the harms produced by the anti-FGM discourse and policies, despite their grounding in human rights and health advocacy. We argue that a ubiquitous ‘standard tale’ obscures the diversity of practices, meanings and experiences among those …
Knowledge of female genital cutting among health and social care professionals in Francophone Belgium
The provision of optimal, equitable and gender-sensitive health-care to women and girls with FGM/C is challenging. Research indicates that health-professionals in receiving countries lack knowledge, confidence and competence in managing FGM/C. In order to develop policies that are suitable to the wide heterogeneity of women from FGM/C practising groups, it is paramount to identify what appropriate care might consist of and what are the knowledge …
Redefining Fatherhood in a Migratory Context
Many African fathers face practices in their host countries that conflict with the conceptions of fatherhood in their countries of origin. They deal with negative stereotypes, including notions of paternal irresponsibility when it comes to embracing child care. This article looks at how exposure to the Belgian norms of fatherhood may redefine the fatherhood practices of African first-time fathers residing in Belgium. Drawing on a qualitative narr…
Pleasure, womanhood and the desire for reconstructive surgery after female genital cutting in Belgium
Growing numbers of women are showing interest in clitoral reconstructive surgery after 'Female Genital Mutilation'. The safety and success of reconstructive surgery, however, has not clearly been established and due to lack of evidence the World Health Organization does not recommend it. Based on anthropological research among patients who requested surgery at the Brussels specialist clinic between 2017 and 2020, this paper looks at two cases of …
There Were Moments We Wished She Could Just Die
Nodding Syndrome (NS) occurs within a wide spectrum of epilepsies seen in onchocerciasis endemic areas of sub-Saharan Africa. It has debilitating consequences on affected individuals and increases the socio-economic, physical and psychological burden on care-givers and their households, diminishing their standing within the community. Social science research on the disproportionate burden of the disease on females is limited. Based on ethnographi…
The Consequences of Female Genital Mutilation on Psycho-Social Well-Being
The health consequences of female genital mutilation (FGM) have been described previously; however, evidence of the social consequences is more intangible. To date, few systematic reviews have addressed the impact of the practice on psycho-social well-being, and there is limited understanding of what these consequences might consist. To complement knowledge on the known health consequences, this article systematically reviewed qualitative evidenc…
Transforming Vulnerability into Power
This paper discusses an aspect of empowerment in relation to the central human capabilities for women with FGM/C in the diaspora. Many women who have undergone the practice of FGM/C come from societies where gender inequalities and gender-based discrimination between men and women persist, which compromises their capabilities, and many find themselves in vulnerable positions in their relationships with men, at work and in their everyday-life. The…
Purity, cleanliness, and smell
Since the 1980s, a multiplicity of medical, social, and anthropological research has looked into different aspects of female genital cutting (FGC), with outcomes that are used as justifications for, or objections to, different forms of intervention on a global level. Yet there is limited research looking at local indigenous medical knowledge, and how potential health problems resulting from cutting are understood and treated by those who perform …
How to protect your new-born from neonatal death
Since the 1990s, the reduction of under-five child-mortality has been a priority for the WHO (Millennium Development Goal 4). In the last two decades, the greatest reduction has occurred in children older than 1 month, while neonatal mortality (the first 28 days of life) has declined more slowly. Neonatal deaths, estimated at approximately 4 million annually, now account for more than 40% of deaths worldwide. Bacterial infections are the leading …
Preparing children for cross-examination
Recent research has suggested that a comprehensive pretrial intervention utilizing a practice–feedback approach could help children to remain accurate in the face of challenging cross-examination questioning. We do not know, however, the extent to which this type of intervention remains effective as the delay between preparation intervention and cross-examination increases. To answer this question, 5- and 6-year olds (n = 88) and 9- and 10-year o…
The role of repeated interviewing in children's responses to cross‐examination‐style questioning
The negative effect of cross‐examination‐style questioning on children's accuracy is likely to be due to the complex and credibility‐challenging questions that characterize the interview. Given that cross‐examination occurs after at least one prior interview, however, it is equally possible that repeated interviewing per se impairs children's accuracy, and that the questions asked have little bearing on children's responses. To examine this issue…
