The practice of violence against women is becoming increasingly acute in Côte d'Ivoire. The forms and frequencies vary from one cultural area to another. Thus, in the west, in the Tonkpi, female genital mutilation (FGM), occupy the heights of forms of gender-based violence (GVA), (CRD, 2016). In order to identify the strategies of circumcisers in this period of prohibition of FGM and the representations that underpin this practice, in spite of national and international policies, research was carried out in three sub-prefectures of the department of Man and Biankouma from February to March 2016. This is a qualitative study. The results confirmed that the attachment to custom and the adoption of new strategies are the factors explaining the persistence of the practice of excision in Côte d'Ivoire.

This study investigated attitudes toward restrictive gender norms among adolescents in Côte d’Ivoire and Sierra Leone (pooled N = 1,793, M age(baseline) = 10.3, M age(follow-up) = 11.6, 50% boys/girls). We examined individual and contextual predictors of gender attitudes, assessed change in gender attitudes over 2 years, and estimated the effect of a community-based norms diffusion intervention. Multiple regression analyses revealed that being a boy, exposure to violence against women, and restrictive norms among same-gender peers predicted support for a patriarchal division of adult roles, lower educational status for girls, and acceptance of gender-based violence. In contrast to evidence from Western contexts, we found limited evidence of increased flexibility in gender attitudes during early adolescence. However, the intervention significantly reduced support for restrictive gender norms, especially among boys. Findings reveal novel pathways through which young adolescents acquire beliefs about gender, and provide encouraging evidence regarding community-based approaches to shifting adolescents’ gender attitudes.
