Final Project: Culture, Advocacy, and Sexual Practices

Following the full details presented in Day 7 of Week 1, you submit your Project this week.

For this Project, discuss how you would address the practice of female genital mutilation with a family that believes in this practice. Research the underlying sexual beliefs of this practice and how you would address these views. Make sure you use the provided resources and your own search of the Walden Library to support your efforts of advocacy. Discuss the major barriers you believe exist in advocating for this practice to cease. How would you approach the barriers in order to try to remove them?

In a 4- to 6-page paper:

• Present two to three strategies that you, as a helping professional, would implement if working with a family that supports this cultural practice.
• Provide a rationale for the strategies you have chosen and how they relate to the underlying cultural beliefs and practices.
• Summarize how you think helping professionals can help advocate for young girls within these cultures.

Submit your Final Project by Day 6.
