Therefore, in line with my research aspirations on Women‘s Sexual and Reproductive Health rights through combating the run-away Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) that includes Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C), I have been involved in the improvement of health care for girls and women living with FGM and advocate, educate and create a supportive environment for socio-cultural change all aimed at abandoning FGM/C.Therefore through collaborations with teams from the Nairobi university under the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the school of medicine in the College of Health Sciences and Africa coordinating Centre for abandonment of Female Genital Mutilation (ACCAF)  whose goal is the abandonment of  FGM/C in the African region in skills improvements in health care providers and the creation of teams in care provision, I have participated in an ongoing Research in Baringo county on prevention of FGM/C where the practice is common, using person-centered communication: An Implementation Research project which currently takes place in Guinea, Somalia and Kenya under WHO/UON/ACCAF.
