Cultural practices must uphold human dignity, health and the rights of children. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya @YouthAntiFGMKe @fgm_global

The Kuria community can preserve positive cultural values, strengthen intergenerational relationships and celebrate its heritage without subjecting girls to FGM/C. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya @YouthAntiFGMKe @fgm_global

Clan elders, traditional leaders, religious leaders and respected community figures should use their influence to challenge harmful practices, discourage FGM/C and promote alternative ways of celebrating cultural identity. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya

A child's safety must never be compromised by social expectations or pressure from relatives and the wider community. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya @YouthAntiFGMKe @fgm_global

Men and boys, including fathers, brothers, husbands, teachers and community leaders, must challenge harmful gender expectations and support girls' rights. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya @YouthAntiFGMKe @fgm_global

Positive masculinity means standing against practices that undermine girls' dignity and using influence to create safer, more equitable communities. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya @YouthAntiFGMKe @fgm_global

Young people should not simply be recipients of awareness messages. They should participate meaningfully in designing and leading community initiatives, school engagements, peer discussions, creative campaigns and advocacy activities. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower

Religious leaders and faith-based institutions can help shape community values and influence decisions within families. They should communicate clearly that faith, dignity and community belonging do not require subjecting girls to FGM/C. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM

Community conversations should address these pressures directly and create collective commitments that make it easier for families to abandon FGM/C without losing their sense of belonging. No family should feel isolated for choosing to protect a girl. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM

The fight against FGM/C requires committed community champions who can consistently promote girls' rights, share accurate information, connect families to support services and encourage responsible reporting. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya

Women, youth, educators, religious leaders, survivors who voluntarily choose to advocate, and other trusted community members can help sustain prevention beyond campaign events. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya @YouthAntiFGMKe @fgm_global

Families, teachers, community health promoters, child protection actors and local administrators should work together to recognise safeguarding concerns and connect children at risk to appropriate protection services #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya

Community-based surveillance should be a responsible, confidential and coordinated system for identifying potential risks, sharing concerns through authorised reporting channels and ensuring that girls receive timely protection. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower

As learning institutions close, existing protection and referral systems must remain accessible #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya @YouthAntiFGMKe @fgm_global

Community actors should strengthen awareness, safe reporting and timely response so that girls are not left without support during the holiday period. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya @YouthAntiFGMKe @fgm_global

Schools should establish clear procedures for responding to child protection concerns, making appropriate referrals and supporting learners without exposing them to stigma or unnecessary questioning. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya @YouthAntiFGMKe

Community health promoters and frontline health workers can help families access accurate information, recognise safeguarding concerns and connect children to appropriate health and protection services. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya @YouthAntiFGMKe

Kuria's proximity to the Kenya–Tanzania border makes coordination between relevant authorities important where child protection concerns cross administrative or national boundaries. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya @YouthAntiFGMKe @fgm_global

Government agencies and authorised protection partners should strengthen cooperation, information-sharing protocols and referrals in accordance with the law, ensuring that children's safety remains the priority. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya

Effective community action requires reliable information about protection gaps, service availability, emerging concerns and the effectiveness of interventions. #Future4Binti #MigoriEndFGM @TunawezaEmpower @Amref_Kenya @YouthAntiFGMKe @fgm_global
