This document presents a study on Femal genital cutting: a cultural conflict. This study investigates FGC and how the general understanding of the practice affects the public portrayal of the Somali community in the UK. Utilizing the theory by Gayathri C. Spivak concerning subaltern’s opportunities to speak, it is discussed how Somali women are represented within the dominant structures in the UK and whether they have the possibility of influencing this. Furthermore, the cultural sensitivity and culture-centered approach to health implementation conceptualized by Mohan J. Dutta is applied in order to study the current implementation of the FGC legislation in the UK. Based on conducted empirical data, it is concluded that a segment of the Somali community feels misrepresented due to the portrayal of the practice of FGC and the unwillingness from the dominant society to include oppositional statements in the debate and if included deeming them invalid.
