Las prácticas culturales perjudiciales contra las mujeres y las niñas en los países en desarrollo presentan cierta resistencia a muchas estrategias de erradicación por parte de organizaciones gubernamentales y no gubernamentales. Este desafío se ha asociado continuamente con estructuras institucionalizadas invisibles y la institucionalización de las mujeres en las comunidades rurales. Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar un estudio sobre las organizaciones comunitarias rurales y el ciclo de prácticas culturales perjudiciales contra las mujeres y las niñas. Este estudio se realizó en el sureste de Nigeria, entre asociaciones de mujeres rurales, utilizando métodos de investigación cuantitativos y cualitativos. El estudio se guió por la teoría de la estructuración de Anthony Giddens. La investigación involucró a 1098 personas que respondieron un cuestionario y a 44 participantes que participaron en grupos focales y entrevistas en profundidad. Los datos se recopilaron mediante un cuestionario desarrollado por el entrevistador y previamente validado, basado en elementos de la Escala de Normas y Creencias Sociales sobre Violencia de Género y la Medición Cuantitativa de las Normas Sociales de Género, así como una guía de entrevista. Los datos recopilados se analizaron utilizando estadística inferencial y un enfoque temático para datos cualitativos. El estudio halló una correlación negativa entre la participación en asociaciones comunitarias y la vulnerabilidad a prácticas culturales nocivas contra mujeres y niñas en zonas rurales del sureste de Nigeria (rho = -0,454, P = 0,000). La vulnerabilidad a prácticas culturales nocivas contra mujeres y niñas se predice por la educación, la edad, el ingreso mensual promedio en nairas, el lugar de residencia, el matrimonio precoz y los antecedentes familiares de violencia de género (R = 0,784 (61,5%), F = 62,791, P = 0,05).
