FGM has no place in our world.
Last year, The 🇬🇲 nearly lifted its ban on FGM, but advocacy won—and the ban remains. Still, 200M+ women & girls have suffered from this harm. The fight isn’t over. Every girl deserves to grow up safe, empowered, & free.

International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation

In the #Gambia #FGM continues to be one of the major threats to women rights and wellbeing. Despite the existence of a 2015 law banning the practice, implementation poses problem in many communities.

#Gambia Last year’s attempt to decriminalize FGM was a stark reminder of the fragilities of the legal framework of women.
The prevalence rate is more than 70%
We need to further speak up, act decisively & collectively to make meaningful changes & end such a harmful practice
