According to the 2008/2009 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS), an estimated 39.7 percent of girls and women in the larger Meru community had undergone FGM. However, the practice is widespread in areas of Tharaka Nithi. To address this, Plan has been implementing the âBuilding Skills for Girls for Lifeâ projectâ in Tharaka for the last three years with a focus on education. The aim of the project is to empower girls to make better informed decisions and reach out to boys and men to influence their attitudes and beliefs. To further step up the fight against FGM, Plan is joining efforts with the cultural elders in the Tharaka Nithi community to seek their support in changing attitudes toward FGM and other forms of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) against girls and women. The elders have strongly condemned the practice, calling for FGM studies to be included in the school syllabus to educate school children about the dangers of the practice.
