Over the last two years, World Vision has adopted a community dialogue approach in the FGM hotspots of Narok, Samburu, Elgeyo Marakwet, Baringo, West Pokot and Kajiado. CHANGE ATTITUDESThe dialogues tackle FGM, not as criticism of local culture, rather, as a better way to change community’s attitudes, perceptions and practices towards FGM. These are intentional conversations among 10 to 15 community members within a village or manyatta. However, it is important to note that not all community members who participate in the dialogues, change immediately. In the past two years, we have successfully reached more than 350,000 community members, and over 200,000 boys and girls through the community dialogues.
