Summary
How is it possible to fight against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) without disrespecting traditional values? This study analyses 'film' as a tool for Human Rights Education in Burkina Faso, especially when it includes thought structures of the local communities. Here, the innovative approach of ciné débat, a particular cinematic awareness-raising strategy is applied and analysed. Thus, this research describes how a documentary film about FGM in Burkina Faso was produced and presented. It is believed that the critical reconsideration of one's own thoughts represents a prerequisite for changing habits. The aim is to find solutions within the traditional context of the country, not to dictate or instruct behaviour patterns to the locals. Contents Universal rights versus cultural relativism Human rights education through film Women's rights and FGM in Burkina Faso Ciné débat and traditional debating habits Target Groups Researchers and practitioners in political sciences, human rights education, gender, and development cooperation International organisations with the focus on FGM and women's rights About the Author Johanna Richter obtained a PhD in Political Sciences at the UNESCO Chair of Human Rights Education. She travels frequently to West Africa, and has been researching the topic of gender in Burkina Faso for over 10 years. She has worked on various science documentaries for TV.
