Fuambai Ahmadu
Fuambai Sia Ahmadu is a Sierra Leonean-American anthropologist.〔Hernlund, Ylva. "Childhood: Coming of Age Rituals," in Suad Joseph, Afsāna Naǧmābādī (eds.), ''Encyclopedia of Women & Islamic Cultures: Family, Body, Sexuality And Health'', Volume 3, Brill, 2003, p. (74 ).〕 She has worked for UNICEF and the British Medical Research Council in the Gambia.〔("About Fuambai" ), fuambaisiaahmadu.com.〕
Ahmadu is known for her work on female genital mutilation (FGM) and, in particular, for her decision as an adult and member of the Kono ethnic group to undergo clitoridectomy in Sierra Leone as part of an initiation into the Bundu secret society.〔Ahmadu, Fuambai. "Rites and Wrongs: An Insider/Outsider Reflects on Power and Excision," in Bettina Shell-Duncan and Ylva Hernlund (eds.), ''Female "circumcision" in Africa: Culture, Controversy, and Change'', Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2000, pp. (283–312 ).〕 She has argued that the health risks of FGM are exaggerated, its effect on women's sexuality misunderstood, and that critics are wrong to see it as an oppressive practice.〔Tierney, John. ("A New Debate on Female Circumcision" ), ''The New York Times'', 30 November 2007.〕
Ahmadu obtained her PhD in social anthropology from the London School of Economics and undertook post-doctoral work at the Department of Comparative Human Development, University of Chicago.〔
