The Incentives of Female Genital Mutilation
I want to talk about this female genital mutilation thing. How are you trying to change the incentives of these places where it's a common practice? It happens for economic reasons because the girl, after she goes through this FGM, her value in the marriage market is much higher. So that's why it happens. Why? Because she can be part of the group of women over there. If she's not cut and everyone, all the other girls are, then women later on, they still treat her like a baby. They should be outcast to the great extent.
