Abstract

This article argues that if deep rooted sustainable change is to be made in the lives of girls vulnerable to FGM/C, then a gender transformative lens is critical. A further strand to the argument states that activities to end FGM/C cannot be siloed, but rather, every opportunity to act to end this and all forms of violence against girls and women, needs to be utlised. Integration, rather than mainstreaming, holds greater potential to trigger the structural changes needed because it is based on a drive to foster political commitment across sectors and spheres. This commitment holds the potential to then translate into policy and resource, shaping relationships between multiple actors and stakeholders and across ecology levels. Embedding a gender transformative lens across development sectors will, this article argues, offer channels for the wider and deeper integration of activities targeted to end FGM/C.
