"content": " Hon. Speaker, as a way of introduction, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is defined as the procedure involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or any other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It is one of the most severe forms of gender-based violence. Female Genital Mutilation commonly referred to as FGM is detrimental to the physical, social and emotional well-being of women and girls. It is a human right’s violation that has a trickle effect on the country’s socio-economic and political development. Hon. Speaker, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) estimates that at least 200 million girls and women alive today have been subjected to FGM in 30 countries in Africa, Middle East and Asia. In Kenya, about 9.3 million girls and women have undergone FGM. According to Kenya Demographic and Health Survey, the national prevalence of FGM among women and girls aged 15 - 49 years has gradually declined from 38 per cent in 1998; 32 per cent in 2003; 27 per cent in 2009; 21 per cent in 2014; and 15 per cent in 2022."
