The purpose of this research was to gather in-depth and detailed evidence on the social norms that drive and sustain female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) and child, early and forced marriage (CEFM) in Sudan.
The study focused on exploring and identifying social norms that promote or discourage FGM/C and CEFM in Kassala, North Darfur, and White Nile states. The research also explored community framing, interpretation and transmission of these norms, including social sanctions and rewards associated with the practices.
The overall aim of the study was to understand how these interpretations could help design programmatic and advocacy interventions to influence policy, legal reforms, and practices to address FGM/C and child marriage effectively.
