In France, excision has been recognized as a penally reprehensible mutilation in 1983. This article analyzes the forms taken by the collective mobilization against excision undertaken by intercultural intermediaries. What are the difficulties and constraints that actresses and actors of this mobilization have to face in France? In the interweaving of ethnic and gender relations, the women of ethnic groups that practice excision are often in front of a paradoxical choice between denunciation of sexism in their group (at the risk of reinforcing racism) and denunciation of its racism (at the risk of strengthening sexism). However, far from being without resources, the studied women develop forms of resistances to this paradoxical choice.
