No tradition should put a woman or girl’s health, rights or future at risk.
Together, we can protect their right to live free from FGM.

⚠️ Safety is the foundation of equality.
When a woman’s well-being is under threat, they cannot participate in society on an equal playing field.

The Garissa Regional Office, in collaboration with @UNFPAKen , @EUinKenya, @ActionAid and @NorthernAidDA, is facilitating a three-day capacity-building workshop focused on strengthening community action to end Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
The workshop brings together grassroots actors and partners to deepen their understanding of human rights and the Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA), gender-based violence and FGM, gender and legal frameworks, referral pathways, power dynamics, movement building, advocacy, community resource mobilisation and campaign planning.
Through these sessions, participants are gaining practical knowledge and skills to better engage communities, strengthen referral and support systems, and advocate for lasting change. The training also provides an opportunity for grassroots actors to share experiences, identify community-driven solutions and strengthen collaboration among partners working to prevent and eliminate FGM.
From lived community experiences to a shared call for action.

Today in Iten, the conversation moves from safeguarding systems to the well-being of athletes. As part of @cedgg_2001 ongoing work with @UNFPAKen and athletics stakeholders to strengthen protection from GBV, SEA and TFGBV, we are engaging athletes and key athletics stakeholders in an open wellness dialogue. The session creates a safe space for athletes to speak freely about the threats and challenges they encounter within and beyond training environments, and how these experiences affect their emotional well-being, confidence, relationships, and day-to-day activities. – at Iten Tambach, Kenya
