The term is essentially contested and often debated. "Traditional practices harmful to" "children", "women" or both are variations often discussed. "Harm" is discussed in terms of health, or, expansively, in terms of human rights.
Depending on the view, the term is said to mean rituals, traditions or otherwise practices that have a prejudicial effect to the health, physical and psychological integrity, or the full exercise of human rights by persons partaking.
It can be argued that a wider definition should also include practices affecting boys and men.
Examples included early and forced marriage, excessive dowry system, honor crimes, stoning, female genital cutting/mutilation , breast ironing, forced feeding, shrine bondage, and virginity testing. Some authors will include pornography, high heels, virginity restoring surgery, superflous comestic surgery as examples of western harmful traditional practices.
