“By not involving men in the fight against FGM is like a doctor treating the symptoms of a disease and ignoring the disease” – so well said.
Thank you very much.
You have the reasonable arguments on your side. You will convince. And you will win.
Soon there will be a lucky and proud Kenya without ANY type of FGM (FGM type I, II, III, IV).
Thank you
I think everything said was actually very logical.
But, consider this, suppose you added a little information? I ain’t suggesting your information is not solid, however what if you added something that grabbed people’s attention? I mean “By not involving
men in the fight against FGM is like a doctor treating the symptoms of a disease and ignoring
the disease” – Tony Mwebia – #MenEndFGM is a little plain. You might look at
Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create news titles to grab people
to open the links. You might try adding a video or a picture or two
to grab people excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it would bring your posts a
little livelier. https://Standardoysterco.com/
Can I simply say what a comfort to find an individual who genuinely knows what they are talking about on the internet. You certainly realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people need to look at this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular given that you definitely have the gift.
Thank you
Valuable information. Fortunate me I discovered
your website accidentally, and I’m surprised why this coincidence did not took place in advance!
I bookmarked it.
Now I am going to do my breakfast, when having my breakfast coming
again to read more news.
