This book deals with reasons for the persistence of the practice of female genital cutting (FGC) among the Kurya in Tanzania. The study recommends intervention programmes based on in-depth cultural knowledge, and concludes that addressing the problem in its local context is crucial for efforts directed at stopping the practice.
