Charity Resian

Thank you for visiting my page. My name is Charity Resian, I was born and raised in a small Maasai village in Kenya. At a very tender age of 16, I fought against and resisted undergoing Female Genital Mutilation (FGM/C). While it was a brave fight, this is a fight no child should ever fight or even experience. However, this experience and pain led me to a new mission and purpose in life, thereby joining the global fight against this practice. While an estimated 200 million girls/women have been affected globally. According to latest figures (2020) from UNICEF, in African alone, an estimated 3 million girls are at risk of undergoing FGM/C annually. FGM/C undermines the health of girls/women, leading to devastating physical and physiological long-term consequences. While it also denies them the right to determine over their body, it’s another form of violence against women that deeply manifest in the entrenched gender inequality and a range of other human rights violations against women. My mission is to be the voice of young girls wherever they might be, who risk undergoing FGM/C. Mine is to make sure that all their voices are heard loud and clear, not only by telling our stories but also protecting the rights to our own bodies. Among other things, I intend to continue playing a key role in decision making, advocacy, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies, programmes and activities that will be valuable for sustainable action towards eradication of FGM/C worldwide. No girl or woman should fight to own her own body. #EndFGM #AfightwithPurpose #OurVoices #TellingOurStories #StoriesofHOPE Photo credit 📸: @annaledinwiren

The price of the fight - By AprilRiv Eberhardt “Then a second wind emerges At the end of the rope That wind grows the spark New confidence meets purpose And faith joins the fight A Warrior for Change Becomes the Holder of Light” '@charityresian is one of the bravest souls I have ever met. She opened a door that felt impossible to move, inspired a paradigm shift, and now other girls have someone showing them that what seems impossible is attainable. The cost was not small.'- April. Thank you, AprilRiv Eberhardt. I admire you immensely 🧡 #Thepriceofthefight #Thecostwasnotsmall #womensupportingwomen ♀️ #findingpurpose #EndFGM 🇰🇪》🌎
