“FGM is a gross human rights violation which amounts to violence against women and girls. #Kenya has put in place mechanisms to help educate communities on the harms of #FGM,” Commissioner Winfred Lichuma. #DontTouchFGMLaw #EndFGM

What inspires us the most is witnessing a powerful generation of girls, who not only refuse to undergo #FGM, but also commit to #EndFGM. #BodyAutonmy is a right for all girls and women, #retweet and tell us how you will stand up for this right on #DayOfTheGirl
