Sister to Sister Convening 2025 | The Genesis
The Sister to Sister movement was born from a simple but powerful truth shared by Domtila Chesang, HSC : activism can be isolating, and we need community.

From that truth emerged a collective rooted in shared knowledge, grounded in what works within our communities, and deeply committed to holding one another as we navigate the realities of activism.
Sister to Sister is more than a gathering; it is a space of growth, solidarity, and collective power. A movement where we learn together, strengthen one another, and organize with intention.

This is what By Us, For Us looks like.

AMREF, in partnership with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Kenya, has launched Future4Binti, a bold five-year initiative aimed to EndFGM and child marriage across Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia.

Why it matters:
• 650 million women worldwide were married as children
• Over 200 million have survived
• In Somalia, FGM prevalence is 99%; in Ethiopia, nearly 50% of girls marry before adulthood

• Kenya has reduced national FGM rates from 38.5% in 1998 to 14.9% in 2026, but some counties like Garissa still report 80%

The impact:
Future4Binti aims to keep girls in school, delay childbirth, and protect their rights , creating opportunities for education, economic empowerment, and stronger communities.

Investing in girls is not only a moral imperative , it’s a smart economic decision.

When girls succeed, nations advance.
