Abstract (EN)
How to fight women hurting customs is still an open question. Legal bans and grass-root based programs have been implemented to stop female genital cutting, but there is still little evidence on their impact. We present here some empirical findings on anti-FGC interventions in Senegal and a discussion on the theoretical underpinnings of these policies.
