FGM ZERO

The FGM Zero team recently visited Sekenani Girls High School in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Engaging in a heartfelt conversation, the team connected with a total of 500 girls, delving into the critical issues surrounding FGM and its impact on the education of young girls.

We left with smiles and gratitude, as the girls not only absorbed the information but also pledged to prioritize education over FGM and early marriages.

FGM ZERO Team Update

April 6, 2021

The FGM ZERO team initiated a research effort to gauge the prevalence of FGM within the Maasai community of Kenya. The findings revealed that girls aged 10 to 15 face the highest risk, with a significant number having either undergone or being at risk of FGM.

This discovery underscores the urgent need to raise awareness among young girls about the dangers of FGM. Many remain unaware of their rights, and there's a concerning lack of information regarding the perils associated with this harmful practice.
