Ending FGM in Kenya: Real Progress, Real Change on the Ground.
In just one year, our frontline teams have reached over 30,000 people across West Pokot, Isiolo, and Tharaka Nithi through community caravans, local radio, and youth engagement.
And the impact is clear:
✅ Over 20 girls protected during peak cutting season
✅ 115 men and 100 community leaders publicly denouncing FGM
✅ 19 anti-FGM committees now actively monitoring and preventing cases
✅ Communities beginning to report suspected cases for the first time
From public declarations in villages like Lomut and Marembo, to young men committing not to marry circumcised women, we are seeing a growing collective rejection of FGM across communities.
As we move into Year 2 of the EU-funded Komesha FGM SASA! programme, we are scaling our efforts in some of the most remote and high-risk areas—because every girl deserves protection.

This is a Mindset MUST-watch.
Bookmark and share. 📌
We can become exactly who we want to become.
We can control our thoughts.
We can control our mind.
We can make that 8-year version of us proud!
Having this perspective at age 22 is just awesome. 🥇

My #FGM Heartbreak💔
"I Thought It Was Evil Spirits That Killed My Baby-Boys During Childbirth - I Didn’t Know It Was #FGM!"

"I was 14 years old when they tied my legs with rope and cut off my genitals. I bled for almost 12 hours. I was almost dead.

Listening to Ochanya’s story broke something inside me honestly.
No child deserves this to be honest, no family should cover such atrocity.
We owe her justice, and we owe every child safety.

Initiative For Girls' Right and Health Development retweeted
Noting beats a united voice speaking at the same time! The volume cannot be lowered or unheard!
Can we at 10am every day tweet 10 tweets each using #JusticeForOchanya until Ochanya and her family get the justice they deserve?
You don’t have to say too much in each tweet.
Ensure you shout it out through your tweets 10 times daily at 10am!!!!
There shall never be rest for the wicked

The anonymous question session during sensitization of in and out of school adolescents @IGRHDev has to be my favourite 😍 I enjoy responding but most importantly, I'm delighted by the level of impact and how they can make better decisions after each project. #IGRHDeducates rde – at Ede, Nigeria
