FGM

Among the maasai community female genital mutilation (alias circumcision of girls) is still practised. One time a local NGO decided to rescue girls against this practise. They convinced the elders that the girls could still be initiated without facing the knife. They were gathered in one place and given counselling. By the end of the session, the girls believed that they had graduated into adulthood and the community also accepted this new change.
