Protecting Girls from undergoing Female Genital Mutilation: The Experience of Working with the Maasai Communities in Kenya and Tanzania

---

Published by Equality Now, this 36-page booklet discusses the experiences of the Tasaru Ntomonok Initiative (TNI) in Kenya and the Network Against Female Genital Mutilation (NAFGEM) in Tanzania - organisations that both take a gender and rights based approach to the prevention of female genital mutilation (FGM), mostly in Maasai communities. The two case studies show that despite "difficulties in changing tradition, TNI and NAFGEM are making systematic inroads into tackling FGM in indigenous communities, by combining social mobilisation efforts with a rights and legal framework approach to the prevention of FGM." Both organisations receive support from Equality Now's Fund for Grassroots Activism to End Female Genital Mutilation.
