La construcción cultural de la lucha contra la mutilación genital femenina desde el discurso de mujeres lideresas en Mali
Abstract
The present article includes some of the preliminary results of a cooperation and research project funded by the University of Jaen in its Call for International Development Cooperation 2010, entitled “Intervention on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) through work with women leaders in associative movements of Mali”. The FGM is a cultural manifestation of gender violence, understood as “any act or intention that causes harm or physical, sexual or psychological suffering to women” (NN.UU., 1993). From a theoretical and methodological constructionist and qualitative position, this paper shows some preliminary results about the social construction process of combating FGM through the discourses of women leaders in Mali. Our sources are made by 14 in-depth interviews to women from Bamako in fight against FGM.
