    Right now, in Kenya more than 100 girls have been getting forcibly circumcised everyday since September. These are 9-13 year old children. They are being paraded on the street without their consent, even tho Female Genital Mutilation is illegal in Kenya.

        Thousands of girls have run away from home because they are in fear of having to get circumcised. Others are scared of leaving bc they want to complete school and can’t without financial assistance from their family. Others are scared of getting disowned by family for saying no.

        This is not a coming of age moment, it is abuse. FGM has lasting affects on a woman’s physical, emotional and mental health. It is excruciatingly painful and infections are highly probable. The government claims to be helping but these girls are left to fight for themselves.

        The Kenyan government neglects the girl child. Women are expected to conform to their abusers which contributes to the culture of abuse that is being inflicted on these young girls. Their innocence is being stripped away from them for the sake of abusive cultural practices 💔

        Africa is undergoing many injustices rn & using these platforms to educate the public is a crucial aspect in fighting for justice. These girls have a right to choose what happens to their bodies without fear of what will happen to them! #herbodyherchoice 🇰🇪🇰🇪

        This is happening to more than 100 girls A DAY and there has been little to no media coverage about it. It’s heartbreaking to imagine how many young girls are silently suffering right now 💔💔💔

        Donate, Donate, Donate!! Even the smallest amount will help! Many of these girls are too scared to run away because they don’t have the money to survive.https://twitter.com/NTonkei/status/1319184117548961792 …

        I don't know how far this could go, but there is an initiative called Tasaru Ntomonok Initiative which is a Rescue Centre for girls. To get more info and support this, check out this link: https://donordirectaction.org/partners/tni/
