Ntiai Eembe Koko is sung in Maasai meaning “Drop the razor blade, old lady,” the song is being launched by FORWARD’s Musicians Unite to End FGM (MUTEFGM) project.

Unique and particularly concerning, is the migration of women and girls aged between 1O and 35 years to become Kayayei, or head porters - young women and girls who earn money by carrying loads on their heads in lorry parks and markets.

Reasons for internal migration vary, but economic incentives are key. The majority of migration is in order to find work. Other motives include education and marriage, although women are generally more likely than men to migrate for marriage.

To mark International Women's Day on 8th March 2018, FORWARD's Musicians Unite to End FGM (MUTEFGM) project in collaboration with Black History Studies presented The Power of Music: Artists Using Conversation and Music for Social Change at Hackney Attic, London.
