'Men have been asked to join in the fight against female genital mutilation ( FGM) to eliminate the vice in communities still practising it.

Abdi Omar of the Kenya Pastoralist Network for Children noted that children continue to suffer as a result of FGM and early marriage.

“Since almost all pastoral communities practise FGM, the government must prioritise its elimination to advance children’s rights to education, health and development,” said Mr Omar.
...
“It can be arrested if men say they are not going to marry circumcised girls anymore,” he said, adding that only 34 per cent of children in arid north- eastern areas are in school.'
