I've been trying to get the authorities here for suggestions and/or to take some kind of action regarding this matter but have not had any practical feedback from anybody, yet.
There are some doctors and nurses belonging to the community who perform this these days and because it is such a close-knit community, it's very difficult to catch the perpetrators or the parents/guardians who take their little girls of between 5 and 6 years to them.
The Kenyan organizations who deal with this matter and to whom I've written have offered to take no action, unfortunately. They all want somebody to volunteer (including the police), to plant a trap to catch them red-handed. I wouldn't personally have minded doing this if I had a daughter, but I don't.
So, what other alternative does one have in the circumstances? Because if nothing is done, this practice will continue, ad infinitum, and the poor little girls continue to suffer and ironically they themselves will practice it on their daughters when the time comes.
Any suggestions on what to do?
