We hold walks and sensitize the community on the dangers of Female genital mutilation. We fully involve men to talk against the barbaric act hence dubbing it “MSITUTOLEE UTAMU” In our community they practice 3 types of FGM. One is where they cut the clitoris or part of it, second is where they cut the clitoris and the entire lips –Infibulation the third one they mutilate it by placing very hot Sodom apples on a clitoris to kills its sensations. No woman should ever go through this kind of torture and that’s why we work with the authorities to make sure the perpetrators are arrested and arraigned in court, We have attached a case scenario where we featured in a national newspaper having recued a 38 years old woman who a family she got married to wanted her to go through the knife.
