Unite, fund, act to end FGM. @beyond_fgm raising the alarm towards World Zero Tolerance to FGM day, Feb 6th #togethertoendfgm #togethertoendchildmarriage
Global efforts has indeed accelerated progress being made to #EndFGM; however, our work is not done. The practice of #FGM is still nearly universal in some countries and this must be changed. Let's #Act2EndFGM.

@WHO Children in Africa have been left out in a lot of these docs. Africa will determine population growth globally in the next years & its population is v youthful. 60% is below 24. 1 in every 5 children/adolescents has a treatable disorder - Prof Olayinka Omigbodun #MHinAfrica2019

We desperately need help at grassroots in Pokot where we are right now, the 1st activists to reach this area. There are still many areas if Pokot where FGM and associated child "marriage " are rampant but not yet reached with any sensitisation or awareness. #marginalization
“The task will not be easy but together it will be achieved.If ever you need help you’ve heard from everyone who has spoke. We are more than willing to help so we have no excuses not to end FGM by 2022” @CSMargaretKobia @PSYGKenya #UNFPAKe

Congratulations, much needed and not before time. Keep strong, my new motto #togethertoendfgm #togethertoendchildmarriage
Attended the ceremonial bill signing of Act 21 of 2019. A bill by PA State Rep. Tom Murt of Harrisburg, PA that criminalizes FGM. It is very rewarding seeing our hard work was not in vain. It was a pleasure meeting Gov. Tom Wolf

Fantastic 10 days of anti FGM activism in Pokot. Community outreach in New area with 100% FGM , follow up in Muino where 350 girls graduated in alternative ceremony (ARP) in 2017, most still in school, reformed cutters not relapsed, then 60 TBA s in new area on tiny budget

To end FGM in the U.K. we need to end it globally. Today I met specialist FGM midwives and activists in London clinic @imperialnhs to hear how women are affected by this harmful practice and announce that @DFID_UK is pledging £50m to help #endfgm by 2030.
