#Somali Community in Kenya 🇰🇪 has the highest prevalence of #FGM at 94% as per KDHS 2014. They perform type 3 FGM. This is the horror that women N girls in this community go through as narrated by this man during #MenEndFGM training in #GarissaCounty. #EndFGM #GenerationEquality

[End FGM European Network @ENDFGM_Network]

This month, for our Annual Campaign #endFGMmyths, we are trying to answer the question "Are some forms of FGM less harmful than others?"

Before diving in, it's important to remember first that FGM is a form of Gender-Based Violence & forms of GBV shouldn’t be compared. 👇
