Clitoridectomy Crisis (1930)
A grievance that sparked a division amongst the Kikuyu and deteriorated their relationship with the British government is the issue of Female Genital Mutilation also known as clitoridectomy. It first came to the attention of the missionaries in 1906 when some Kikuyu girls were rushed to Thogoto Mission Hospital after their circumcision wounds had gone septic. Appalled by the practice, missionaries all over the central region campaigned against it. Although they attempted to handle the issue as a clinical matter, it was evident that this was foremost a cultural issue. The Kikuyu, under the Jomo Kenyatta-led KCA (Kikuyu Central Association), perceived it as such; an onslaught on their rites and customs. This is so because the rite was important in the stages of life of a kikuyu woman.
