We discuss Dutch general practitioners’ responses to patients, mostly women of migrant background, with needs related to harmful cultural Practices.

We found that there is reason for concern, as based on general practitioners’ own accounts we conclude that notwithstanding their great commitment to these patients they were disinclined to intervene, because they were cautious to judge other cultures and because they may have over- or underestimated the women’s autonomy.
