In an effort to end retrogressive cultural practices among pastoral communities, more than 25 Junior Secondary School teachers drawn from Arid and Semi-Arid areas have been sensitized to become girls’ rights champions in their regions.
Speaking during a two-day sensitisation workshop in Nanyuki, Laikipia County the teachers highlighted how girls from those areas continue to lag in education due to early and forced marriages, Female Genital Mutilation, and teenage pregnancies, among others. The sensitisation aims to promote learning in pastoral areas and minimize the cases of school dropout associated with outlawed cultural practices.
