In the run-up to the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation on Sunday, countries around the world are calling for an end to the globally condemned practice. In Kenya, around 4 million women and girls have been subjected to FGM, according to the United Nations.
Prevalence rates vary greatly by region and ethnicity – from a largely non-practicing west and central Kenya to a 98 percent observance in the country's northeast. A school in Kajiado County works with local authorities to protect girls and let them know their rights.
