Did you KNOW?👩🏽‍⚕️
The United Nations (UN) says that Breast Ironing affects 3.8 million women globally!
People use large stones, hammer or spatulas that have been heated over scorching coals to compress the breast tissue of girls as young as 9 years old, not to be attractive to men!

As we commemorate the #DayOfTheAfricanChild how is the justice system handling the cases of FGM and Early marriages perpetrators that are on the rise due to Covid -19 pandemic. How speedy is the process?#LetsActke

[coexist Kenya @KenyaCoexist]

Ending #FGM as a form of #GBV in Africa calls for an #ARP approach which takes away the cut while retaining important aspects such as sexual education, blessings by elders, & keeping girls in schools while preserving & protecting the good cultural values of communities. @covaw

[coexist Kenya @KenyaCoexist]

This also calls for a lot of vigilance among government administration officials at the community level especially chiefs to ensure quick response on reported cases.#SRHRisEssential

[Kwamboka Oseko @MercyQuasch]

The government should ensure that the curfew does not hinder the reporting of GBV cases during curfew hours or access to health services for women and girls.

The government had introduced the programme on provision of sanitary towels to students if it still works, the ministry involved should work with grassroot organization to help distribute the sanitary towels to girls in vulnerable households.
