From conference rooms to under-the-tree dialogues, we re-define masculinity, provide safe-spaces for elders & young men to openly share their experience, acknowledge the power-imbalance &understand why their role is critical in changing social norms that perpetuate FGM #MenEndFGM

In our recent engagement in Wajir, Nurse Abdullahi Muhumed highlighted how #FGM destroys sensitive genital tissue, causing lifelong pain. We continue to sensitize young men to advocate against this #HarmfulPractice. #MenEndFGM #GenderEquality

Ilmarba village men gathered again to discuss culture. What values, practices and stereotypes should be abandoned to make our culture one that is celebrated by women, girls, men and boys. Culture rethinking under the trees. #EndFGM

Our future is determined by how we refine our culture to make sure it recognises & protects human rights, prosperity and dignity for all. Every boy should become ideal husband, father, grand father and great-grand father. This is Ilmarba men conversation. #EndFGM

Men hold influential roles in families & communities. Their voices can help end FGM. By speaking out & challenging #HarmfulPractices, they can shift norms & protect girls’ rights. We continue to hold conversations with men in Olmotti village, Kajiado County. #MenEndFGM

Elders in Kajiado are leading bold talks with Morans—where tradition meets change. They’re guiding youth to challenge harmful norms like #FGM & early marriage, redefining culture to protect future generations. When knowledge meets courage, culture evolves. #MenEndFGM

The Male Engagement and Inclusion National Strategy is almost done and will soon be adopted. I am glad we can finally walk together as men & boys, Women & girls in the quest for #GenderEquality in Kenya. This is truly a game changer! Happy to have had a chance to give my input

In Kajiado, elders & Morans came together to discuss #HarmfulPractices. When fathers share wisdom & sons ask questions change begins. We continue to sustain these key conversations, building a movement of Men advocating for #GenderEquality across different counties #MenEndFGM

Changing social norms that perpetuate FGM can be achieved by sustained under the tree conversations, not just with cultural elders who are the custodians of culture, but also with younger generation who're next in line as custodians of the same culture #MenEndFGM UNFPA-UNICEF JP to End Female Genital Mutilation
