Abstract

Cet article traite de la reproduction culturelle de l'aversion envers les filles dans une perspective générationnelle, en s’appuyant sur un suivi jusqu'à l’âge adulte d’une cohorte de 10 filles du district de Madurai, dans l’Etat du Tamil Nadu. Les enfants, tout comme les adultes, sont ancrés dans les microcontextes de la vie quotidienne dans laquelle se reproduisent les écarts de pratiques selon le sexe, et ils sont pleinement conscients du traitement différentiel dont ils font l’objet. La reproduction culturelle de l’aversion envers les filles est intergénérationnelle. Pourtant, elle prend des formes différentes au cours de la vie des filles, en grande partie en raison du croisement dynamique des relations entre sexes et classes d’âge. L’article conclut en attirant l’attention sur des approches fondées sur les droits qui permettraient aux voix des filles d’éclairer activement les politiques de développement et les programmes de lutte contre l’aversion et la discrimination envers les filles.
