Description

Definition
Women who stated that female circumcision should continue (in FCCONTINU)were asked a follow-up question about why it should continue. FCCUSTRAD captures whether they said the practice should continue because of "custom and tradition." Note that similar material is covered in FCCTRAD, which gives "good tradition" as the rationale for continuing female circumcision.
