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.

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

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
