Ending Female Genital Mutilation and Child Marriage in Tanzania
Fordham International Law Journal

Abstract
This article analyzes the intertwined practices of female genital mutilation, child marriage, domestic violence, and bride price in Tanzania. It argues that these different types of violence reinforce one another. Interventions must therefore address the problems together, as multiple manifestations of gender-based violence. The article makes recommendations for reform.
