- ABSTRAK The objective of the study is to comprehend how the practice of Female Genital Cutting (FGC), or `sunat perempuan' in local term, reflects a social contruction of sexuality in Indonesia society, and how it relates to sexual and reproductive health. The study was conducted during 2002 in Yogyakarta and Madura, considering that both areas have distinct sociocultural contexts. The study reveals that FGC, as MGC, is socially meant 'to Islamize' member of society. The male religious leaders' dominance and rigid interpretations' of Islamic holy books may be conducive for male-biased sexual behaviors and harmful procedures of FGC among Madurese. Among Javanese, by contrast, FGC is known as a part of court tradition, to be connected with a puberty rite which articulates symbolic actions. As opened social discourse is more accepted among Javanese, FGC is easily forgotten. Nonetheless, the meaning of FGC as a puberty rite has served as a basis for gender divisions among Javanese todays. Key words female genital cutting, Islamize, sexuality, gender
