The eradication of FGM is not optional. It is not negotiable. It is not a suggestion. We must not stop until FGM and child marriage are stories our grandchildren read about, not realities they live through. Today, we honour the Maasai Elders of Narok and Kajiado for boldly declaring: “No more FGM and child marriage. Not in our time. Not to our daughters.” This is a national turning point, a community taking ownership of change, and fathers rising as protectors. We joined the community in Suswa, Narok County, for the national launch of the Global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and the My Dear Daughter campaign, standing together to end Female Genital Mutilation and safeguard millions of women and girls at risk. #16DaysOfActivism

This recording of a young lady from Narok reportedly being assaulted by her brothers in an attempt to compel her to marry a man she does not love is detestable. This is not a cultural practice, it is an act of sexual violence, and such conduct cannot be countenanced. The constitution guarantees individual autonomy and freedom of choice, and equally frowns upon harmful cultural practices that undermine human rights. We call upon the police to promptly identify and arrest the perpetrators of this aggravated act of violence.

When teachers support girls access to sanitary pads, they help break the stigma and ensure no student misses school due to periods. Together, we are fostering dignity, education, and equal opportunities for all! #MenstrualHealthForAll #BreakingTheStigma #EducationForEveryGirl

With only one woman being elected in this year's Council of Governors Executive elections, it's a reminder that more work is still needed for gender equality.This outcome is disappointing and highlights the need for more representation of women in decision-making #GenderEquity

The Council of Governors Women's Caucus-'G7' held the inaugural meeting of the G7 Advisory Council. As women leaders, we have a responsibility to become leaders who inspire with action and advocates who champion with courage.
