H.E Mr. Dennis Noel Oduya Awori, Ambassador Embassy of the Republic of Kenya
International human rights organization Equality Now reports that over 150 girls are subjected to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in and around Marakwet district, Kenya, from December 2007 to January 2008. We see FGM as a harmful practice that poses a serious risk to the physical and mental health of women. We respectfully request that Kenyan authorities take immediate action to protect girls from FGM, which is illegal under Kenyan law.
