Efforts to end FGM should emphasize societal dialogue and the empowerment of communities to act collectively to end the practice. Follow #EndFGMConferenceKe in Kenya & get involved! #EndFGM
Globally, it is estimated that at least 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone some form of FGM.
Girls 14 and younger represent 44 million of those who have been cut. FGM is a gross violation of human rights.
I fully support #EndFGM#EndFGMConferenceKe

Moved to tears by harrowing stories of unbearable pain (during sexual intercourse and childbirth) due to #FGM which violates the human rights of women.
Stand up and be counted in the fight against this brutal practice.

Our decisions don’t just affect us, they affect our family, our children, our friends. If you don’t do the right thing for yourself, do it for the people around you.
We must and should deconstruct #FGM and the myths around it and expose it for what it truly is : a Human Rights violation. There no benefits at all as posited by certain traditions. #EndFGM@UNFPAKen@FemnetProg
