Only in The #Gambia!! If punishment for #rape carries “imprisonment for not less than 10 years”, why is D50,000≈ £600 even an option? Also what is there to compensate? A girl’s future may never be the same; the victim’s family forgiving what? Everything here is so wrong!

The report of the Joint Committee reflects that #FGM is a harmful practice, has no religious obligation and constitutes a clear violation of fundamental human rights. Therefore, the report calls for the maintenance of the Women's Amendment Act and its strict implementation.

The Joint Committee’s report has been adopted by majority of the National Assembly Members. As we await the vote on the Bill, this serves as a significant milestone. #EndFGM220

The Gambia parliament voted to adopt the Joint Committee’s report, which suggests Gambia maintains the law against #FGM. This serves as a significant milestone against the harmful practice. We stand in solidarity with all survivors & stakeholders involved in the fight against FGM

Our comrades in #Gambia are headed to the National Assembly Of The Republic of The Gambia, where the Bill to uplift the ban on #FGM will be tabled for consideration today. The world watches the #Gambia as we anticipate that the right decision, keeping the ban on FGM, will be made.

The National Assembly Of The Republic of The Gambia has rejected the bill tabled to repeal the ban on #FGM. Therefore, #FGM is continuous to be illegal in the #Gambia. It is crucial to continue to advocate for implementation of laws to protect women and girls in Gambia and Gambian communities in the diaspora
