The International Day of Zero Tolerance for female genital mutilation (FGM), observed annually on 6 February, provides an opportunity for all stakeholders involved in ending FGM to celebrate achievements, advocate for abandonment of the practice and raise awareness.
This year, with the theme Her Voice. Her Future. Investing in Survivor-Led Movements to End Female Genital Mutilation, there is a focus on survivors who are contributing to the global movement to end this harmful practice.
Female Genital Mutilation/Cut is the worst form of gender based violence against women/girls.
We advocate against FGM/C. We believe in health of our women and girls.
We support SRHR of girls and women.
FGM/C in Kenya is 15% – we target Tharaka Community where 56% of women/girls Undergo FGM/ C and in Nairobi where 8% of girls Undergo FGM/C.
We conduct SRHR workshop in schools and villages to sensitize both men and women about dangers of FGM/C. Our advocacy against FGM/C is to end FGM/C.
