The world marks the International Day of Zero Tolerance to female genital mutilation (FGM) tomorrow.
FGM is a cultural rite of passage that initiates young girls into adulthood, paving way for their marriage and has transcended centuries. In Kenya, this cruel practice, with all its attendant risks, is practiced mostly among the Kuria, Maasai, Kisii, Pokot, Samburu, Saboat and the Somali communities.
