Wajir county assembly clerk removes Fatuma Hussein from the final list of applicants for the speaker of county assembly. Document in our possession shows she has met all the criteria as specified. This is gender discrimination #justiceforfatuma #Wajir

Imagine you:

Lack a place to call home,

You lack an actual identity,

You live on limited opportunities,

Your access to quality health services is limited.

This is the life of a refugee.

However, not all of us bleed under favourable circumstances, period poverty is real and many many girls experience their menses without sanitary towels! It becomes an even more dreaded time.

Let's explore this year's theme and what it means. #IWD2022 #genderequality

[North Eastern Women Association @NEWAmovement]

Women and girls all over are breaking barriers and achieving the impossible despite the challenges we face.

[North Eastern Women Association @NEWAmovement]

Happy #InternationalWomensDay2022 !
This week we will be having a week long twitter chat 😀. Feel free to engage and join the discussion.

[North Eastern Women Association @NEWAmovement]

The purpose of #IWD2022 is to celebrate cultural, political, and socio-economical achievements of women and girls.

The Act also criminalizes a person who takes another person inside or outside Kenya to perform FGM. #ZeroToleranceDay #FGM_C #FGM #EndFGM

[North Eastern Women Association @NEWAmovement]

Kenya has outlawed FGM and it is a punishable offence. Despite this it is still practiced.

The Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation Act (2011) was passed on 30 September 2011 and enforced on 4 October 2011.

[North Eastern Women Association @NEWAmovement]

Part IV of the Act criminalizes female genital mutilation (FGM).  The Act also provides that if FGM is carried out and causes death, the perpetrator will be liable to imprisonment for life.

[North Eastern Women Association @NEWAmovement]

7. Advocacy and lobbying at all levels in an attempt to strengthen the push to eradicate FGM.

[North Eastern Women Association @NEWAmovement]

Have you ever wondered how we can end FGM by 2030? Here are some suggestions 👇🏾.

[North Eastern Women Association @NEWAmovement]

6. Tackling the secrecy in which #FGM takes place. Before, the whole community would participate and prepare for this rite but it is different today. Due to the controversy around #FGM , it is done in secrecy and the girls are getting younger and younger.
