Ifrah Foundation in partnership with @GMCEndFGM marks #AfricanChildDay in Mogadishu on Thursday, which brought together journalists, youth groups, FGM survivors, religious leaders & health professionals. The theme for year the is "Eliminating Harmful Practices Affecting Children:
Hassan Istila @HassanIstiila speaking at DAC event said, " The media is great opportunity to end FGM practice. It plays a vital role in ending this harmful practice against our girls, so together we can." @IfrahFoundation @GMCEndFGM
@GMCEndFGM Why has FGM got such a hold on these communities? Why would it still persist in the volume that it does? What is the attraction of mutilating daughters knowing the pain they will suffer their whole lives that mothers had suffered by their own experience of FGM before them ?
"Ending FGM involve all and no one should be left out of this fight" Mrs. Philis D. Varfee FGM activitis. Special thanks to @ajptoendfgm, @GPtoEndFGM and @UNFPA for all the support.
Happy International Day of the African Child! Memories from 5yrs ago when women from this particular community in @ElgeyoMarakwetC denounced FGM, since then girls have gotten opportunity to go to school! #DAC2022 @MarakwetGirls @GMCEndFGM @LilKoima @Collins__Kibet @RuttokipKevin
@PSaiyanka this is well said! Men play a key role in ensuring that FGM comes to an end. Thank you for taking the lead! #DAC2022 @GMCEndFGM @MarakwetGirls @GPtoEndFGM https://t.co/Tu6AuwU3QB
