By ABDIMALIK HAJIRMore by this AuthorCounties in Kenya that still practice female circumcision (FGM) are leading in maternal deaths during child birth, it has been revealed. "It's only women who have undergone the cut who understand and know the complications they go through during child birth. This is a culture that we should say no to and save our women from imminent deaths," said Mrs Hussein. Ms Abdi is the founder member of Womankind, an NGO based in Garissa Town that assists girls escaping FGM. The former MP urged the youth to embrace the campaign against FGM saying that the boys should support their mothers and sisters in the fight.
