More than 80% of FGM are performed on babies under 1-year-old.
Indonesia tried to ban FGM in 2006 but religious clerics reacted by

The ISSUE👩🏽‍⚕️
Many grandmothers are part of the #FGM problem; they're often the 'FGM Facilitators' because they've been indoctrinated into the patriarchal systems that uphold detrimental gender norms.
We need to sensitize grandmothers to break the norms of FGM in their communities.

Just IN: Some LAWMAKERS🤦🏽‍♀️
SOMALI: The United Nations has expressed concerns about attempts by Somali lawmakers to pass a new bill that allows child marriage!
#Childmarriage and #FGM are interrelated: In many communities, underage girls undergo FGM to 'open them up' for marriage!

@thegirdlengr Brutal barbarism why are all those men and women watching this and not stopping it how in the 21st century can anyone believe in witches, especially strong enough to kill an old woman over this stupidity.

[#FGM Survivors Diary @thegirdlengr]

Her SIN🤦🏽‍♀️
The community complained of lack of rainfall and invited a priestess who accused 18 women of being witches, and after torturing them, 17 of them admitted to being witches and responsible for the lack of rainfall.
But Denteh insisted she wasn’t a witch; they lynched her!

#EndFGM 🙏🏽
UGANDA: The President has refused to bow to pressure to unban #FGM.
He said, "Female circumcision had to be stopped when science proved that it was dangerous. This was a big economic activity for those female cutters. That is why they still try to operate underground."

WRONG! Often #humantrafficking happens within countries. It could refer to county lines. It could even mean taking someone next door. To mark World Day Against Trafficking in Persons on Thurs, pls raise awareness and help #endhumantrafficking More facts at https://t.co/yoKp6qt2kp

[Alex @Alex_J_Speaker]

We must dismantle the mindsets that girls are burdens and harmful practices. We have to empower girls. Every girl is an architect of change. #forcedmarriage #empoweringwomen #GenderBasedViolence

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Stop.
Blaming.
Women.

It's on all of us to end sexual harassment and violence.

[#FGM Survivors Diary @thegirdlengr]

Dear SOCIETY👩🏽‍⚕️
It's better to talk to girls and women about Sexuality Education than to mutilate or seal their genitals for religious/cultural reasons on a mass scale with brutal tools like:
*Kitchen knife
*Finger nails
*Piece of Glass
*Needle
*Thorns or Sticks
*Scissors
*Scalpel

In Baringo, as in many other parts of the country, our young girls are forced to have sex in exchange of pads due to poverty. Help us protect these girls by donating towards purchase and distribution of sanitary towels to these girls. #EndPeriodPoverty #PeriodPoverty

[100 Voices Against Rape @100_AgainstRape]

NO GIRL-CHILD SHOULD EVER HAVE TO SEE RAPE AS A WAY AND A MEANS TO AFFORD PADS❌❌❌❌❌❌

Access to sanitary towels is a basic human right for every girl. But somehow, this is still a luxury and a privilege for many girls in Baringo and Kilifi counties💔💔💔

[Scheaffer Okore @scheafferoo]

In Baringo county girls are forced to trade sex for sanitary pads!!! See why we need to implement policies that understand mensuration as a rights issue that protects girls from the cycle of poverty and predation?

[MC V-SLIM @victorslimKE]

Yeah we need proper policies to protect the girl child against sex preditors #EndMenstrationPoverty @cghrdkenya @KitisuruForum @ENjokiKariuki @rachaelmwiks @cidioti @Sauti_Tv @ElijahKanyi @Mathare_Roots
