GROWING UP FEMALE IN MAASAI SOCIETY - A 13 years old Maasai girl stares deeply into the camera, her eyes heavy with sorrow. Just a day after her wedding, she prepares to leave her village to live with her husband. This portrait, part of a project raising awareness about the health risks of female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriage, reveals the profound weight of cultural pressure. Despite Kenya outlawing FGM in 2011, the practice remains deeply embedded in many remote communities, carried out in secret to avoid detection. For many elders, FGM is seen as an essential tradition, marking a girl’s transition into womanhood, even as the younger generation begins to question its place in a changing world.
