“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

your website accidentally, and I’m surprised why this coincidence did not took place in advance!
