Stakeholder Summary:
Para 17) NHRC and CODDHD noted efforts to prohibit harmful traditional practices against women and children - notably female genital mutilation (FGM) - through awareness-raising activities, which had achieved positive results in some areas. CODDHD referred in particular to the case of the Makodolindi community, which had issued a public statement announcing its decision to abandon excision. Nonetheless, CODDHD considered that further efforts were required. WV expressed regret that, despite the enactment by the Government of Act No. 2003-25 condemning harmful practices, FGM remained a widespread practice in the Gurma, Peulh and Arab communities and the regions of Tillabéry, Diffa and Niamey. -
