Labia minora elongation (LME) is a genital modification that some women in east and southern Africa practice. This tradition is not common in Western Cape province (southwestern part of South Africa). The aim of this article is to discuss the methodological choices made in the design and conduct of this study, in which a White European male interviewed the female study participants on the health implications of a practice that is considered a woman’s private issue. Constructivist grounded theory informed by a feminist perspective was chosen as the most suitable methodological approach to enable cogeneration of knowledge with the female participants. The methods and tools used by the lead investigator facilitated access to the participants’ emic views. Grounded theory methodology holds the potential to be an appropriate methodological approach for researchers who seek to erode the power imbalances influencing research processes that aim to explore the associated meanings and health implications of female genital modifications, such as LME, as narrated by the women who practice them. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 0.769 2015 SOCIAL SCIENCES, INTERDISCIPLINARY 54 / 95 = 0.568 2015 Q3 T2 0.511 2015 Education 2015 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Mubanga, Mwenya (orcid)0000-0002-9240-0778 Tomás Aznar, Concepción Universidad de Zaragoza Bagnol, Brigitte 1006 255 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
