A5. Young people are the future fathers & mothers. We are the most affected by this harmful practice. Young people have made a commitment to walk the talk in the quest to #EndFGM/C #EndThePractice
There's no doubt the young people are the hope and the backbone of every country and we have to have them at the driving seat at all times. What can our young people do to help #EndThePractice of FGM around the world? #EndFGM

SDG #3 focuses on Good health and well being, how can that be achieved when we still have such harmful practice being done all in the name of 'culture'

A4. Culture is a beautiful thing & should be protected by all means. But harmful cultural practices like #FGM and #ChildMarriage have no place in the 21St Century and should be condemned by all means. #EndThePractice #EndFGM @Africa_YMCA
Culture is a key aspect that should be respected in the lives of many people especially in Africa. Since FGM is part of a cultural tradition, can it still be condemned?

A3. #FGM is social norm and failure to conform to it attracts sanctions from community members. This communal pressure to conform makes many community members to continue the practice #EndThePractice #EndFGM @Africa_YMCA
Different communities have different takes on the practice of FGM, why do you think some communities still practice it even though it is harmful? #EndThePractice #EndFGM
