Chapter Two examines how, to no avail, women’s activists tried to reform Niger’s family laws from independence in 1960 through 2011. The rise of a conservative religious movement and its issuing of a curse and the public burning of the draft law effectively silenced women’s activists.

Keywords:   Niger, family, laws, law, independence, religious movement, conservative, silence, women’s activists
