NAIROBI: The recent jailing of two women who chose to be circumcised and increasing cases of married women opting for the rite are raising questions over the social risks that face the anti-FGM campaign in Kenya.
The concepts of social risk and social licensing, both largely associated with interventions and large infrastructure projects, are questions that will continue to occupy anti-FGM stakeholders, especially the prosecutorial aspect where parents are incarcerated and children have to live without one or both parents.
