Sensitise public about the dangers of FMG

Lack of education among the population has been cited as one of the reasons why this practice has been upheld. Ignorance of the deleterious effects of this practice has kept the culture’s pulse on.

Female genital mutilation, synonymous with Kapchorwa and neighbouring districts, was outlawed in this country after several efforts spearheaded by victims and the government.

Lack of education among the population has been cited as one of the reasons why this practice has been upheld. Ignorance of the deleterious effects of this practice has kept the culture’s pulse on.

Increase in efforts to educate children of the affected population will lead to the demise of this criminal culture.

We must invest massively in education of the Sabiny, Pokot and Tepeth if we are to realise significant strides in eliminating FGM.
