NAIROBI - Kenya’s president on Tuesday promised to end female genital mutilation by 2022, a goal women’s rights campaigners said was unrealistic due to insecurity and high prevalence rates in some parts of the east African nation.
“Kenya commits to eliminate female genital mutilation by 2022,” President Uhuru Kenyatta told a global conference on sexual and reproductive health and rights as part of a series of commitments made by governments at the event. Kenya criminalized FGM in 2011 with a minimum punishment of three years imprisonment and a $2,000 fine - the most comprehensive anti-FGM legislation in east Africa.
They said it would be difficult to end the practice within two years - eight years ahead of the 2030 global goal agreed by U.N. member states.
