In the Kuria region of Kenya and Tanzania, the fight against cross-border FGM/C is about commitment & change.
A 2023 survey shows 49.8% in Kuria East & 74.5% in Kuria West report shifting attitudes. Community dialogues can turn this hope into action.

Children are spending more time online for learning & connection but face risks like cyberbullying & privacy issues. Safety is about knowledge & support, not isolation. Parents and communities can help by teaching protection, encouraging openness & taking reports seriously.

As we look ahead to International Day of the Girl Child, we are reminded that protecting a girl’s future starts with protecting her right to learn, grow and make choices about her own life.

#InternationalDayOfTheGirl #GirlsRights #TunawezaAt10

A girl-child should grow into her future, not be married out of it.

On #InternationalDayoftheGirl, we call to End Child Marriage and Invest in Girls’ Rights.

We amplify girls’ voices and create safe spaces for them to thrive.

🧡 End Child Marriage. Invest in Girls’ Rights.

A girl’s future shouldn’t be determined by FGM/C but by education, knowledge, and empowerment.

“Let us circumcise their minds through education.” ~ Lilian Mooroga, FGM Survivor.

We must invest in girls’ futures with safety, quality education & opportunities.
