Anti-Female Genital Mutilation Board

The Anti-Female Genital Mutilation Board is a Kenyan government body established to coordinate efforts aimed at eliminating female genital mutilation (FGM) in Kenya. The Board works with national and county governments, communities, civil society organizations, development partners, and other stakeholders to promote awareness and strengthen efforts against FGM. Its activities include public education, advocacy, research, coordination, and supporting initiatives that protect girls and women from harmful practices. The Board also promotes alternative rites of passage and community-led approaches that encourage positive cultural practices. Through its work, the Anti-FGM Board contributes to protecting human rights, promoting gender equality, safeguarding girls, and supporting communities toward ending FGM.
