Africa: Youth, ICTs and FGM

This book, 'Confronting Female Genital Mutilation: The Role of Youth and ICTs in Changing Africa' reports on an innovative research and action project amongst girls and boys in Burkina Faso, Mali and Senegal to explore whether young people's use of information technology could contribute to the abandonment of FGM. It shows how, in the era of 'globalised citizenship', a cross-sectional vision that puts young people and gender at the centre of development can produce real change.
