Last week’s High Court ruling upholding the ban on female genital mutilation has given a much-needed boost to organisations and institutions in the fore-front in the fight against the practise.
Not less impacted are the lives of women and girls spared from pain and unnecessary violation of their rights and dignity.
The ruling came weeks after President Uhuru Kenyatta signed an MoU with Samburu elders, with 22 hotspot county religious and cultural leaders in attendance, and committed to end FGM by 2022.
The news is particularly welcome in my home area among the Kuria people in Migori county.
