Elders are custodians of culture and tradition. Their influence within communities often shapes social norms and practices. By engaging elders as advocates for change, it becomes possible to challenge harmful cultural beliefs from within, making efforts to end FGM sustainable

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

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.

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
