Christine, 17 years old, underwent FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) before being married to an elderly man.
Christine was able to run away from the man and sought help from a women’s network supported by ActionAid.
She has now been reconciled with her brothers and mother who forced her to undergo the operation in return for a large dowry from the old man.
Christine now boards at a Primary School in Kongelai Division, West Pokot District, Kenya.
