Confronting female genital mutilation : the role of youth and ICTs in changing Africa

Abstract

Co-published with Pambazuka Press and ENDATranslated by Mamsaït JagneFrench version available in IDRC Digital Library: Excision : les jeunes changent l'Afrique par les TICThis book reports on a research and action project amongst girls and boys in Burkina Faso, Mali and Senegal to explore whether young people's use of information technology can contribute to the abandonment of female genital mutilation (FGM) practices. It shows how, in the era of 'globalised citizenship,’ a vision that puts young people and gender at the centre of development can produce real changes. The project opened a new avenue of research that looks at both the public and private social roles of women, and how they move between these spheres in order to assume their socially productive/reproductive lives
