The chinamwari/khomba practice remains an old practice where girls attend initiation school under the watchful eye of a senior old woman to graduate from childhood to adulthood or ‘womanhood.’ The debate between the two schools of thought which aim to strengthen human rights discourse shows that it is not easy to resolve the questions around harmful traditional practices in general, and the khomba practice in particular. Cultural relativists often defend the practice based on moral and pedagogical justifications. On the contrary, universalists view the practice as an unlawful, discriminatory and unconstitutional violation of women’s rights. This chapter added to this debate by showing the discourses around this practice from a cultural relativist and modern human rights thinking to illustrate the conflicting positions concerning chinamwari/khomba practice. The chapter neither provided an empirical account of the experience of this chinamwari/khomba, nor resolved the debate, but revealed implications of the two approaches to women’s rights. This chapter noted the need for scholars and practitioners to move away from the cultural relativism versus universalism dichotomy to a nuanced discussion that largely acknowledges the merits of universalism and the significance of culture in dealing with harmful practices such as the Chinamnwali practice and advancing women’s rights.
