THE CUT

Female genital mutilation is still a poblem in some communities, this primitive behaviour still takes place despite public awareness and campaigns against it.
To the suprise of many about 400 students in pokot boycotted classes and staged demonstration to denounce the practice. It all started as one of the girls was witheld and locked up in a private room by her parents awaiting to undergo this, but she came to inform her friends through the mobile phone which she had in her room. Her friend came to her rescue. This was due to take place last December.
They burst into ati FGM songs andcindemned their own parents who have declined to abadon the primitive harmful vice.
