More than 2,000 girls are lined up to undergo FGM in Pokot and Marakwet areas.
CEO of the Womens Rights Institute for Peace, Mariam Suleiman says a worrying trend has also emerged in Marakwet where married women are being forced to get circumcised. Some of the school girls targeted for FGM have remained in schools in East Pokot refusing to go home for the August holidays.
