Quotes

• “Both genders bear the brunt of conflict when men are out fighting the women are taking care of the family. When the men are out fighting and they get injured, its the women who will take care of them. When the men go fight and die in war, the women are left with the burden of the family. Women have a role in the peace process.”
• “You see, when a girl is beaded by a relative, he is allowed to have sex with her, but if the girl conceives, which happens most of the time as no form of contraception is used, the baby is unwanted and is seen as a curse. It brings shame to the family.”
• “When you educate a man, you educate an individual. When you educate a woman, you educate a nation.”
• “If girls go to school, we can have so many breakthroughs for girls' success and we can also stop mostly these harmful cultural practices”
• “I was able to go to school though I always watched as my classmates dropped out of school to get married at the ages of nine to 11 years”
• “FGM is practiced in my community as a rite of passage to womanhood and accounts for 97 percent of Kenya’s FGM cases. This is why I decided to rescue young girls from early marriages and the cut and return them to school”
