Female Genital Mutilation abuses human rights

Kenya is blessed with numerous tourist attraction sites. It has been lauded for the ability to respect and maintain its cultural practices and rites. Her practices have been adopted by tourists who come, ape and propagate them. Modalities have been put in place to preserve the values and the practices.

However, there are some practices that antagonise human rights, especially women. During this festive season, female circumcision has been on the rise. In some regions, failure to face the knife results to alienation from the community and one being termed an outcast.
