Sexual Health of Women With Genital Mutilation Seen at the Saint-Denis Women's Center

This study looks at the sexual health of women who have experienced female genital mutilation (FGM) and who are receiving care at the Women's Center at Saint-Denis Hospital. It aims to better understand their sexual experiences, including the impact of past violence and trauma, and to explore how multidisciplinary care (such as psychological and sexological support) can help. The study also looks at what women expect from their care and how they feel about surgical or other types of support.
