Despite efforts in Africa to enact new legislation regarding FGM, the practice persists in some areas.
The country banned FGM in 1999, though just making it illegal is never enough.
Individuals responsible for the death of a woman from FGM can receive between five and twenty years of hard labor, and fines ranging between three and six million CFA francs.
There is also statistical evidence to suggest that FGM may be on the wane.
At the cantonal level, the Valais network to fight FGM is mobilised to include the obligation to denounce genital cutting, in the future cantonal Law on health.
But according to research, FGM still has high support in areas with a lower standard of education, where proponents claim mutilation makes women less likely to commit adultery.
