It can no longer be regarded as a tradition to be analyzed solely in the cultural and social contexts of origin, but rather as a practice relocated outside this setting along with the beliefs and attitudes related to Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C). This paper presents the results of the qualitative research conducted with nine women asylum seekers from southern Nigeria resident in the city of Perugia (Italy) who have undergone the practice of FGM/C. The study, using a transnational perspective and a gender sensitive approach, explores the migration routes and lives of these women in order to understand how and if the migration process affects their system of opinions, attitudes and meanings in relations to FGM/C.
