As a way of increasing knowledge at community level and changing perceptions towards #FGM/C), with the support from The UNICEF Kenya we conducted a dialogue session between women, men, girls and boys in #Chepokachim #endFGMC
We engaged stakeholders in Kiwawa Ward—government, political, religious, women, youth, teachers, elders & NGOs—to strengthen our call to end harmful cultural practices. They commended the impactful work by UNICEF Kenya & UDO.ke in protecting communities.
We're glad to see progress from our intercommunity conversations involving male leaders in the fight against FGM. Many are now proudly educating their daughters and even marrying uncircumcised women from regions like Turkana and Karamoja where FGM is not practiced UNICEF Kenya
Every child deserves a future free from violence and full of opportunity. lets keep fighting for that UNICEF Kenya

Educating women on #ENDFGM can lead to a greater awareness of the harmful effects of FGM. Also influences community attitudes which reduces the prevalence of the practice. In partnership with UNICEF Kenya we are training women in West Pokot to end FGM.
An African child deserves a life free from FGM, early marriage, and barriers to education. Let’s continue the fight for equality, dignity, and opportunity for every girl and boy. Today's celebration was done at Kacheliba mixed primary school,westpokot county.#EndFGM UNICEF Kenya
Today, we held a powerful community dialogue in Nasal-Alale Ward on ending FGM/C. Community members are now testifying that these sessions are bearing fruit — they understand the dangers of #FGM and the laws that prohibit it. Change is happening! #Endfgm UNICEF Kenya
