I have taken the decision not to attend this year’s St. Patrick’s Day events at the White House due to the situation in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. I deeply value the historic relationship between Ireland and the United States, and I remain committed to working with U.S. figures to strengthen our peace and grow our economy. However, despite the hopes and promise offered by the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, horrific Israeli military attacks continue. I cannot and will not look away from systematic human rights abuses and flagrant breaches of international law by Israel. It is my responsibility as a political leader to stand firmly on the side of humanity.

LISTEN TO YOUR PEOPLE! 📣 Sierra Leone’s Frontline is Pushing Back. The political Child's Right Act bill is on the table, but guess what? It completely omits FGM. Our incredible partner, Rugiatu Neneh Turay of @AmazonianIniti3 , isn't having it! 🔥 She’s taking this fight straight to the communities where the power truly lies. 🗓️ Mark Your Calendars: November 25th, Port Loko! AIM is planning a massive public, open-air meeting to launch the Born Perfect FGM Eradication Buses 🚌. This event is a direct challenge to the politicians. As Rugiatu says: "We are taking this fight into the communities... The message to the politicians is listen to your people. Be brave. They are ready to eradicate and you need to represent the people." ✊ It's time the government caught up with the courage of its people. We stand firmly with Rugiatu and the frontline organisations demanding protection for every child. This fight needs resources! We rely on your support to keep the Born Perfect Buses rolling and to fuel this community resistance. Donate today to back the frontline: frontlineendingfgm.org/donate/ #EndFGM #SierraLeone #BornPerfect #ChildsRightAct #ListenToThePeople #ShiftingThePower

👦🏽✊ In Wajir County, Kenya, young boys are stepping up to join the frontline fight to #EndFGM - and it’s a game-changer. Locally-led activists at @WOWN_Kenya are engaging boys and men through football, school outreach, and courageous conversations about what it means to protect girls and challenge the FGM narrative. The message is clear: FGM is not a "women's issue" - it's a community issue. And real change begins when boys are part of the solution. 📣 In classrooms and on the pitch, boys are learning that strength means standing with girls - not staying silent. This is what locally-owned, urgent, and effective work looks like: ✔️ Building new narratives ✔️ Shifting attitudes early ✔️ Protecting the next generation of girls ✔️ Empowering youth to lead the change 👏🏽 Boys in Wajir are showing the world what solidarity looks like. And it’s working. 👉🏽 Support this frontline work: globalmediacampaign.org/donate/ #FrontlineEndingFGM #EndFGM #BoysAgainstFGM #BornPerfect #FGMFreeGeneration #YouthForChange #Wajir #ProtectGirls #LocallyLedSolutions #DonorImpact #WomenOrganizingWomenKenya @UNFPA @EUinKenya @HenrietteGeiger

In Kurutyange village in Migori County 🇰🇪 we met with over 50 inspiring young mothers hearing about their commitment to protect their daughters against FGM. The #BornPerfect campaign backed by @GMCEndFGM is crucial in raising awareness & promoting the rights of girls and women.

🔥 The #BornPerfect campaign to end FGM in Kuria has launched - and it's led by frontline activists who are going village to village to stop the cut. In a region where 84% of women and girls have undergone FGM, they’re informing young mothers of the truth: FGM causes lifelong harm. It’s not culture - it’s violence. And they have the power to end it. ✊Led by @TunawezaEmpower, mothers are making a bold vow: “I will never cut my daughter.” This is grassroots feminist resistance. This is how change begins. 👉 Support the women leading this movement: globalmediacampaign.org/donate/ #BornPerfect #Frontline #Grassroots #EndFGM

🚨 50 Girls Cut and Held Against Their Will in Sierra Leone 🚨 Right now, in Kanema District, Sierra Leone, 50 girls – some as young as 3 years old – have been subjected to FGM. Many are still being held in Bondo Houses against their will. This is the reality of the summer cutting season - and it's being funded by a woman and her family living in the United States. 🗣️ Rugiatu Neneh Turay-Koroma, Chair of the Forum Against Harmful Practices (FAHP) and founder of AIM, is on the ground, working with local leaders and calling on the Government of Sierra Leone to step in and protect these girls. In October, the Born Perfect Campaign will launch in Sierra Leone, led by women like Rugiatu who are risking everything to save girls' lives and futures. 👉 Share this post and donate: globalmediacampaign.org/donate/ @turayneneh #EndFGM #BornPerfect #SierraLeone #GirlsRights #HumanRights #StandWithSurvivors
