“I remind Fathers and young men that FGM is illegal in Kenya, it dehumanizes girls and women, it desempowers girls and women and denies girls the opportunity to continue with their education let us say No to FGM." Samuel Leadismo.

#DidYouknow, Women who have undergone FGM/C are more likely to suffer from prolonged & obstructed labor, sometimes resulting in fetal death & obstetric fistula.
Together let's accelerate actions towards ending FGM & protect girls from the harmful impacts of FGM.

➡️ All women and girls should be equipped with tools and skills to protect their boundaries!

This month, AWRA collaborated with @ESD_Global to promote empowerment through self defense. Co-founder @CDomtila attended a 7-day self defense training organized by ESD in Rwanda. 🇷🇼

Shocking! Girls who undergo FGM are at risk of infections, hemorrhage & death. Imagine putting in danger the lives & health of millions of girls in Somalia.
Together let’s save these innocent lives & #EndFGM.
Join us to end FGM by pledging here today; https://t.co/5bnVe4IQOA

Ending FGM requires girls to become involved in empowerment and mentorship programmes.
Once girls understand what's happening to them is wrong they are able to fight for themselves and rescue others.

Our CEO @lolojuberna hosted a team from @2young2wed who paid her courtesy call to discuss areas of collaboration in ending FGM and child marriage in West Pokot & Samburu counties.
The team lauded the board for their pursuit to #EndFGM which catalyses for child marriages.

Child 'Marriage' continues to be a scourge across the globe.
Unforgiveable as we celebrate the International Day of the Girl (11 October)

@equalitynow Thank you, yes.

You may be interested to see this, in part about the campaigning against #CEFM by Eleanor Rathbone (one of England's first woman parliamentarians) even way back in the 1920/30s

Draft plans would see global protected areas increase to 30% of the Earth’s surface, pesticide use cut by two-thirds and food waste halved. https://t.co/HqOJDc4wcn

[FGMStatement @FGMStatement]

Today, 11 October, is the annual International Day of the Girl.

It is also yet another day when Child Marriage is still tolerated across the globe. #CEFM

[EIGE @eige_eu]

On #DayOfTheGirlChild we draw attention to girls originating from countries where #FGM is practised, who can be at risk. Data is scarce and does not reveal the true extent of this extreme form of #violence. See what EIGE is doing to close the data gaps - https://t.co/L4gvkvMUCj

Access to reproductive health and services, including contraceptives, is essential to preventing early and unintended pregnancy. We must work with local government and civil society to ensure young people are provided this essential service during #COVID19 #LetsTalkAtHome

Waiting to speak in Parliament to urge the Government to protect children from sexual & criminal exploitation from Grooming gangs, secure prosecutions and support survivors - this shouldn’t be a postcode lottery. @patel4witham @BorisJohnson
