Under no circumstances should FGM ever be legal. It's demanizing and disempowers the girl child

Today we applaud every single father who stands up for his daughter to be free from all forms of violence, including female genital mutilation. The battle to #EndFGM will be won when fathers become an integral and ubiquitous part of the campaign. #MyIssueTooCanada #FGM

The reason why our girls are getting pregnant is because they are being DEFILED. Apprehend PERPETRATORS!

[Equality Now Africa @EqualityNow_AF]

“By restricting physical movement to curb the spread of #COVID19, community & national surveillance systems that would prevent #FGM & punish perpetrators have been interrupted. But the government must dispense justice even in this context,” @equalitynow’s @makandigitonga. #EndFGM

Dear Friends,

Female Genital mutilation has no health benefit. It rather poses threats to the health and wellbeing of women and girls.

Protect your loved ones from COVID-19 infection and FGM complications.

Exactly...! And it all begins with FGM. Once cut these girls are considered "mature" to be married off...

[Asenath Mwithigah @amwithigah]

When will people stop ticking boxes & address the #FGM,#Childmarriage in this country with the truth it deserves? Why are we failing our girls?Why are we silent on this issue? Yet shocked with #teenagepreganancy statistics! @TonyMwebia @ciiruwahome @CDomtila @EndingHTPs

[PapaJoe254 @PJoe254]

@HamuRubby This is in Kenya. Among the Kalenjin sub-tribes Pokot & Marakwet. And he also "mentors" the women cutters
