WORKING TOWARDS ENDING FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION,BEADING AND CHILD MARRIAGE BY 2030.
Commitment description:I commit to continue to rescue girls at risk of child marriage, female genital mutilation and beading, to continue housing them in our safe house and continue enrolling them to schools and seeking support to educate them so that they are empowered through education because education is the greatest equalizer and this is bringing forth a generation of future women who are safe from harmful cultural practices and women who can make informed choices about their bodies and their children. Lets face it, if these were issues affecting MEN they would have ended a long time ago but because they are issues still affecting WOMEN even after many years of fight, it continues anyway.
