Can multiculturalism and feminism coexist

Reference no: EM133674123

Problem: Look over the reading by Wade - "The Politics of Acculturation..." to read about the Somali refugee mothers wanting a vaginal cutting procedure for their daughters to symbolize the custom of female genital cutting within their culture. This issues raises some questions when examining the notion of multiculturalism through the lens of feminism. Do you think this symbolic practice is acceptable and should be allowed? Can multiculturalism and feminism coexist if the customs and traditions are harmful or inequitable to women?
