Maasai girls take up self-defense as protection from sexual abuse and early marriage

Maasai girls are taking up martial arts to protect themselves from sexual abuse and violence stemming from early marriage. The training at a boarding school in Transmara in western Kenya is an incentive for parents to allow their daughters to stay in school instead of undergoing the female genital cutting ritual that is still common in Maasai girls between the ages of 8 and 17. (AP video: Zelipha Kirobi/ Production: Jackson Njehia)
