Following up with my dear friend @Ladyfatimabio office. Has anyone made any attempt to present the #FGM to you. If not kindly update me so that we can push those working in #SierraLeone to do so. #EndFGM#MenEndFGM
Creating safe spaces for engagement of men and boys in promoting gender equality is vital in dismantling social and gender norms that perpetuate inequalities. In Samburu, we are sustaining conversations with Morans to #EndFGM and other harmful practices

.@Ladyfatimabio It fascinates me when a first lady blames activits for not visiting her office with data. I believe in your position you have access to all the data you need, and can even commission research to get more data if the topic interests you. This is ignorance 😒 #EndFGM
They were trained in late 2020 & early 2021. And, this is what they have been up to! @MenEndFGM we endavour to build a movement of men and boys in the quest to #EndFGM.
These are some of their voices from Isiolo, Wajir, Kajiado and Nairobi County! #MenEndFGM
Who said men don't care about the suffering of their wives, sisters, and friends as a result of #FGM. Watch our documentary that follows up our trained male champion who have turned #MenEndFGM champions in their communities. https://t.co/AvZAuDPtB6
"I have three wives. If we had laws that allowed me to sue my inlaws, I could gladly do so. They made my wives suffer. This injustice against our women & girls has to stop" #MenEndFGM .. Full documentary https://t.co/S7w7JvcccS #EndFGM
"Any time I stood to speak in my community, they thought I was crazy. I come from this community, my wife is cut, my mum was cut, and all my sisters were cut. " Chief Sampeke.
Watch our follow-up documentary to witness the change that has taken place https://t.co/dPkHQfjrlA #EndFGM #MenEndFGM
We have really violated our girls, I am a polygamous man with three wives, and if I get an uncut woman, I will marry her as my 4th wife. "Watch now the follow-up documentary of the trained champions" https://t.co/2ddClCRkSG #MenEndFGM#EndFGM#SDG5
"Previously Trained & Still Committed" A testimony of how enganging men and boys in ending #FGM can create ripple effects in communities #MenEndFGM https://t.co/upPYz3MCPi
When a girl has control over her body and her future, the impact extends far beyond individual life to her family & the broader economy. Through our #GirlGuardMovement, we are building girls' agency in Samburu while addressing their SRHR needs, leading to reduced school dropouts
As we mark the international day to Zero Tolerance to #FGM we wish to share this powerful documentary on the impact of engaging men and boys in this noble cause #EndFGM#Invest2EndFGM
Previously Trained & Still Committed https://t.co/NfNMyZMdwW via @MenEndFGM
I chose to study the MA Gender & Development (MA GAD) at a turning point in my journey. I was leading the #MenEndFGM online campaign and the MEF. While the online campaign gained massive traction, it also faced resistance, especially from seasoned female activists who questioned the legitimacy and intent of men occupying feminist and survivor-centred movements.

"The course (MA GAD) shifted my approach from “helping” to movement building, from awareness-raising to systems change. It strengthened my work in male engagement, safeguarding & context specific community-led prevention of HPs." - @TonyMwebia

The silence of men is deemed as support for this practice. That's a FACT!
Then why do we choose to blame men and the Patriarchy rather than investing in sensitisation and getting them to Speak UP? #EndFGM#MenEndFGM
With 5 years to go until 2030, why are we stuck with what we have done since the 1980s and expect different results? Why not intensify engagement of men and boys alongside other interventions and see if the results will be different? #MenEndFGM#EndFGM
