In a renewed effort to curb the growing cases of Female Genital Mutilation, the national Anti-FGM board has launched a sensitization programme across the country. The board held a two-day capacity-building training in Isiolo County aimed at empowering and equipping stakeholders involved in the fight against the practice. Isiolo records an FGM prevalence rate of 66 percent, significantly higher than the national average of 15 percent.
Participants in the training committed to intensifying interventions and reducing FGM cases in the county to at least 40 percent by next year.
