Abstract:
The article investigates the role of traditional and religious leaders in shaping men's involvement in combating female genital mutilation (FGM) in Tanzania. A qualitative case study approach was adopted, gathering in-depth data through interviews and focus groups with the participants. The findings show that traditional and religious leaders hold significant influence over African men's engagement in the abandonment of FGM, particularly when leaders use their authority to oppose FGM. The provision of targeted awareness training to change the perceptions of promoters of FGM as well as sustaining anti-FGM campaigns toward increased men's participation in eliminating the practice, is critical.
