Abstract
The paper reviews the available evidence on the prevalence of these practices in urban areas, their negative impacts on women and girls, and the effectiveness of interventions to address them. The authors highlight the need for more research on HTPs in urban settings, particularly in terms of understanding the drivers of these practices and developing effective interventions to prevent them. The paper also emphasizes the importance of addressing HTPs in urban areas, given the high prevalence of these practices in some urban populations.
