"Men play an important role in the society,it may hurt us modern women 2admit we live in a patriarchal society but that is a fact! We might say that #FGM is a woman's problem but men have an enormous influence on this ..." Beatrice Sakaja @047County #Nairobi First lady #MenEndFGM

[#MenEndFGM @TonyMwebia]

As we mark Zero Tolerance Day to #FGM tomorrow, I am truly humbled that the world can finally use #MenEndFGM as the hashtag to rally men and boys to join this noble cause. I am happy that everyone now understands that #FGM is everyone's business

[#MenEndFGM @TonyMwebia]

This tweet received immense backlash from several quarters then and this informed my decision to have it as my pinned tweet in protest! #MenEndFGM #EndFGM

[#MenEndFGM @TonyMwebia]

In October 2014 I said this! "By not involving men in the fight against #FGM is like a doctor treating symptoms of a disease and ignoring the disease #MenEndFGM" #EndFGM

[#MenEndFGM @MenEndFGM]

All set for tomorrow's launch of the "Hooyo Haigoynin" project. The project aims to address FGM in the Eastleigh area, with a particular focus on the Somali community, by empowering them to change behaviour, attitudes, and debunk #FGM myths.

[#MenEndFGM @MenEndFGM]

The project aims to change behaviors that contribute to the perpetuation of #FGM and empower the community to embrace positive norms through engagement with the cmty. and informing them of the types, effects, laws, offenses, and penalties of the practice.

Happening now: Launch of the "Hooyo Haigoynin" project to accelerate the abandonment of #FGM in Nairobi County's Eastleigh area.

"We have trained the TOT and equipped them with knowledge and skills on how to engage the community members in a professional manner. Next, we will be rolling out our activities in Eastleigh starting 6th February" @PCKemei HOP @MenEndFGM. #MumDontCutMe #MenEndFGM

[#MenEndFGM @MenEndFGM]

"Hooyo Haigoynin" project aims to address #FGM, child marriage and other harmful practices that affect the sexual and reproductive health of women/girls in Nairobi's Eastleigh community.

[#MenEndFGM @TonyMwebia]

Our mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunties and uncles, boys and girls are all important in the quest to #EndFGM. We all need to unite and walk the talk to end this vice. #MenEndFGM #MumDontCutMe

[#MenEndFGM @TonyMwebia]

"#FGM is a gross violation of basic humam rights & has no religious backing whatsoever, we need to speak up againist this vice that continues to inflict pain & suffering to women & girls" Dr. Rashid former Deputy Chief Khadi of Kenya and a board member @AFGMBoard #MumDontCutMe

[PC Kemei @PCKemei]

"Eastleigh area in Kenya is home to more than 2.7M members of Somali community. In this community, FGM is considered a tradition & is almost universal, with the practice being linked to religion" - Mohamed.
To #EndFGM, we must engage everyone everywhere

[PC Kemei @PCKemei]

For a long time families in urban centers have been overlooked in interventions to #EndFGM & other harmful practices. The "Hooyo Haigoynin" project is specially designed to address FGM & child marriage among the Somali community members living in Eastleigh, Nairobi.

[#MenEndFGM @TonyMwebia]

"I am intrigued by @MenEndFGM initiative, very happy to see our men and boys join the rallying call to #EndFGM and other harmful practices, we need to make this a rallying call across Kenya" First lady @047County Beatrice Sakaja

#MumDontCutMe #MenEndFGM

[#MenEndFGM @TonyMwebia]

Culture is deeply entrenched in people. Hence, thought @047County is not among #FGM hotspot counties as per KDHS, there is need to sensitize the general population residing in Nairobi as it's drawn from across #Kenya. #MumDontCutMe, #EndFGM

[#MenEndFGM @TonyMwebia]

The program aims at sensitizing the residents of Eastleigh on ending #FGM and other harmful cultural practices as well as menstrual hygiene for the girls. This pilot project will inform the rolling out of #MumDontCutMe programs across other hotspot counties. #EndFGM

[#MenEndFGM @TonyMwebia]

Today we were joined by @lolojuberna ceo @AFGMBoard, (First lady Beatrice Sakaja, Roselyene Head of GBV, & Maryam Chief officer Gender) @047County, Sheikh Rashid, representatives from @GermanyinKenya and @EUinKenya among other dignitaries at the launch of #MumDontCutMe Program.
