Historical Moment! In Samburu community like many other #FGM practising communities they are the custodians of culture, they can bless or curse. They make the 'laws' of the land and today their 'cabinet' has decided it's time to #EndFGM. #KisimaDeclaration #MenEndFGM

"It is important to bring along men to the table. Championing for the rights of girls and women requires that we work with male allies. Men need to understand that they play a huge role in ensuring that girls and women are protected" #ChooseToChallenge #IWD2021

"When a turtle sticks its neck out, it progresses." Women's and girls' dignity and rights are harmed by harmful practices such as FGM, which make up the vast majority of these obstacles. Girls' dignity & rights are central to any country's socioeconomic progress. #MenEndFGM
