It's IRONIC how women who went through the harmful & agonizing ritual of FGM still put their own daughters through it? Whatever their answers are, our ultimate goal (as anti-FGM advocates) is to enlighten them & prevent this from further happening to other children.

19. This is mostly how traditional practices grow to become a norm and difficult to tame. It ends up leading to the fear that if it's not done, the defaulter will be inflicted negatively.

Inasmuch it's advisable to use 'subtle ways (sensitization rather than condemnation)' to end FGM, we implore the GOVT to involve the MEDIA to help enlighten the people on the adverse implications of FGM and that perpetrators will be made to face the full wrath of the Law.

Faduma Ali, 86, still remembers the pain of being circumcised at eight. Horrific as it was, she allowed her own daughters to go through the same ordeal. But when it came to her granddaughters, she decided to step in & stop it. We need more repentant mother like her!

How To Bring An END to FGM: Everyone has a role to play to end FGM. Community leaders and members should agree to put an end to this harmful practice by joining hands with organisations that are working to end FGM. The MESSAGE is to SENSITIZE them, not CONDEMN them!

FGM is a criminal act according to Act no 32, 2011 passed by the Parliament. If you support FGM either directly or indirectly, youare liable to imprisonment under Section 19 of the Law. Let us stop FGM in Kenya!

FGM will never end until MEN also throw their weight behind efforts to eradicate it - if men said "NO" to FGM, certainly, families wouldn’t get their girls cut again. Men must also be agents of change when it comes to the fight to end FGM!

Many traditional circumcisers have realized the harmful effects of FGM BUT have refused to stop the cut. WHY? To them, the medicalization of FGM is like robbing Peter to pay Paul (selective justice)! There's should be an outright ban on it - TRADITIONAL or MEDICALIZATION!

“I’m out of tears to cry at funerals of girls we‘re burying because of female genital mutilation (FGM). I got angry enough to do something about it and you should too.” —

The practice of
#FGM violates women/ girls right to health, security & physical integrity, right to be free from torture & cruel inhuman or degrading treatment and the right to life in cases of death. This should be the reasons why#NOGIRL deserves 2 be cut!#GAA#EndFGM pic.twitter.com/SkBTdGng5j -
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) can never be safe and there’s no medical justification for this harmful practice!

Healthcare providers who perform female genital mutilation (FGM) are violating the fundamental medical mandate to “DO NO HARM”.
