The Magistrate Court has just started the preliminary investigations. The family and soweis have appeared three times. The case is adjourned to continue at the Magistrate Court on 10th August. Crime of manslaughter are always referred to the high court at a certain point. https://t.co/DvL91TtHZ9

The use of inappropriate images of girls in z media in violation of their privacy, the lack of sensitivity in the way children’s issues r smtms reported w/o recourse to the long-term impact on children, fake news & misinformation, are concerns & challenges -@snorgah
@OurGirlsAU

Responsible journalism, gender, cultural and religious sensitivity should underpin our work as media practitioners and ensure we do no harm to children, whilst reporting on harmful practices. -@snorgah

@YayaToure @GMCEndFGM @UNFPA Thank you @YayaToure

#BornPerfect say NO to FGM

Every 60 seconds, 6 girls are mutilated.
To stop this act requires a joint effort of everyone. It starts with me, you, plus our fathers and brothers are much needed in this because in the end, “FGM is done for the men”. #YouthEndFGM @youthhubafrica @AYCommission @yiyafoundation https://t.co/OnoPT3OCk6

We are happy to see more men and fathers like @YayaToure standing up and saying NO to #FGM and other harmful practices 👏👏👏
