By DAVID MUCHUIMore by this AuthorAn 18-year-old woman from Kautine in Igembe North was on Saturday rescued from forced Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). The incident comes amid rising concern over rampant cases of FGM in Igembe North despite intensified crackdown on the vice. This comes a week after four women were arrested at Athimba in Igembe South after circumcising an 18-year-old woman. In November, the police in Igembe North, Meru County, rescued a Class Seven girl before she underwent FGM. In September, a woman underwent the cut in Igembe North.
