Résumé en anglais

"The tension in Burkinabe prisons exists as well in French ones, where researchers have identified both the constraints and the secondary benefits for women prisoners – better access to training, the vegetable garden, and food – all of which refer back to the social function assigned to women. In 2015, women accounted for only 3% of the 7,620 prisoners that made up Burkina Faso's total carceral population. Studies and Sector Statistics, compared to 3.4% across the continent and 6.9% worldwide. The events that resulted in these women's imprisonment are part of a larger history of the fight against FGM in Burkina Faso. MACZ is one of 26 prisons in Burkina Faso.

The context of these women’s incarceration has a historical, geographical, and gender dimension."< Réduire
