Social Norms and Girls’ Well-Being: Linking Theory and Practice Report (Data2X, 2017)

April 14, 2018

This report initially reviews the landscape of theory around social norms (“Theory”). It then investigates two projects that have facilitated change around norms and practices of female genital cutting (FGC) and child marriage: Tostan’s Community Empowerment Program (CEP) in West Africa and Population Council’s Abriendo Oportunidades (“Opening Opportunities”; AO) project in Latin America (“Practice”).

The report concludes by discussing the implications of both theory and practice for the future of social norms change (“The Way Forward”).
