In some community FGM thrives despite being outlawed in Kenya. and they say they will not stop.

As KENYA joined in marking the international human rights day, in Kuria several girls lined up to undergo the ritual of female genital mutilation that is currently outlawed in Kenya. Many members of the community say this an integral part of their culture that cannot be discarded overnight. They say they will not stop even if they will be killed one of the mutilators said...and she bragged of how much money she makes per blood shed 400ksh per victim 5$:((. can you imagine government watches this and does nothing? she can mutilate up to a 1000 girls a day:(( ,
This girls are locked up in a dark hut for three weeks to cop with the pain:(( not all make it:(( this is freaking murder!!! I swear I will fight this atrocity until it's history help me GOD!

SEVEN GIRLS RESCUED AFTER BEING MUTILATED AND ONE OF THEM PREGNANT FIGHTING TO SAVE HER UNBORN BABY.10-16YRS. IN KENYA

They were rescued this monday.
Seven girls who were on Monday rescued after they had undergone female genital mutilation in Meru are set to be discharged from hospital. The incident had left one of the girls unconscious, and another who was 3 months pregnant fighting to save her unborn baby. Although FGM has been outlawed in Kenya since the ratification of the children's act in 2001, it is alive and kicking especially in the region. But as sally Mbilu reports, parliament is set to debate a proposed bill criminalising the act. What a shame that the four girls they are daughters of a pastor (Christian). Though the other pastors have condemned this evil atrocity!!!
This is just disgusting we are fighting so hard and yet no arrest have been made?
