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. -

Type:Review DocumentationSession:10th session, February 2011Status:N/AContents:"With respect to the resolution of disputes under family law, courts and customary
authorities are competent to hear such cases. Currently, there is no legislation on family
law. All attempts at codification from 1976 onwards have been unsuccessful. The role
played by husbands is a factor that greatly influences decisions about the spacing of
children; 18 per cent of women involved in decision-making use a means of contraception,
as compared to 7 per cent of those who have no say in decisions affecting the couple.
Women are generally responsible for children’s education and care, although parental
authority is exercised by men. [Para 108]" -
