Gambia: mobilization against a law reinstating excision. For the second time this month, this Monday, March 18, the deputies were considering a bill aimed at… excising.
Last year, according to Unicef, 73% of Gambian women aged 15 to 49 were excised. These are two points less than in 2015, the year of the ban on female genital mutilation in The Gambia. The bill must first be examined in a parliamentary committee, before a possible new reading in the Assembly.
