Gambian politicians are seeking to overturn the landmark ban on female genital mutilation
Gambia has moved a step closer towards repealing a ban on female genital mutilation.
The national assembly voted to send a bill on ending the ban to a parliamentary committee for further discussions.
Removing the ban would end legal protections for millions of girls and women.
Supporters of the proposed measure marched in the capital…

THANK YOU JAHA
Next is legalising Gay married. This is a trap
Jakka Dukhureh got it all wong. Circumcision is Divine hygienic prescription from Allah (Exalted be He). FGM is a scheme against Circumcision to interject at juxtapose.

Jaha dukureh I have went through Female circumcision and nothing absolutely happened to me. Mind you not only me but my family members, friends, and we all had our kids Alhamdullilah with zero complications. What these people are asking for is simple,they’re not saying everyone should do it By force, it’s only a choice to practice it or not to. By the way you have live in the west, no doubt you have seen transgender people changing their private parts from male to female that’s not an issue and we all know that is way far complicated than circumcision. You and your entourage should spare us with the double standards. You have been advocating the trauma you went through but that shouldn’t determine our choices in our lives. One last thing if you and sister were mutilated that doesn’t determine same thing was done to us, we were circumcised not mutilated!
If not Allah it is the Mullah who loves female genital mutilation.
It is very concerning the peaceful things the book recommends
Stop lying woman, fear Allah
Men really need to stay out of this conversation. I am no feminist or do I support some of the things that feminists preach but I am totally in agreement with banning FGM. It’s a very bad practice and as a survivor myself, I say stop the practice and let women have the sexual pleasure they deserve after marriage. So unfair 🤦🏾♀️
This woman can lie
Jaha lying to her teeth. As gambian and listening to some of the answers she's giving I straight away know she's lying.
It's lie
You people are very stupid and rude
Jaha touray u are not speaking the truth this people some of them have more educated than u
better let others to practice their culture by choice an they are not protesting nothing but they said let the bill repeal and allow if anybody wants to practice let do and u guys saying no let them jail them u guys are the major problems to our country because of the money u getting from western u ungrateful gang
Jaha why are you in the Gambia for the first place. You are a big liar..
What about transgender? Is that correct? Muso kuyan balo hooy
Obviously the imams and other religious leaders think Allah made some mistskes in his creation so they have to correct them by mutilation of female genitals.
No to FGM
Eric Prince was correct. Colonization may be necessary as the males in this country have not evolved to be fully human. Women should stop birthing their enemies.
It would have been nice to hear from both parties.. if an activist who wants the bill ban is given chance to speak, i think another who is against the banning should be given a chance on air like jaha .be transparent
WE ALL AGREE FGM IS WRONG, NO ONE DENIES THIS FACT, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IS FGM IS DIFFERENT FROM FC, YOU ARE 10000000000000% RIGHT THAT FGM IS HARMFUL, WHAT WE WANT IS FOR IT TO BE DISTINGUISH FROM FC, IF YOU ARE AFRAID THERE ARE PEOPLE DOING FC WRONGLY RESULTING TO FGM, THE SOLUTION IS SIMPLE, LET'S TRAIN NURSES TO CARRY OUT THE PRACTICE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT IT SAFELY.
THIS CAPTION IS MISLEADING EVERYONE IN THE GAMBIA IS AGAINST FGM, AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE CONTRADICTED WITH FEMALE CIRCUMCISION. THIS TWO ARE DIFFERENT AND THIS SHOULD BE CLARIFIED. WE ARE ALL ANTI-FGM IN THE GAMBIA, EVEN OUR RELIGION IS AGAINST IT. FGM IS DIFFERENT FROM FC. THIS PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE ADVOCATING FOR FEMALE CIRCUMCISION, THEY SAID THE BANNED, SHOULD BE OVERTURN THEIR RIGHTS ARE VIOLATED. AGAIN NO ONE IN MY COUNTRY IS CAMPAIGNING FOR FGM, WE ARE ALL AGAINST IT. PRO-FC AND ANTI- FGM.
When you say FGM should be banned, no problem. Let it be banned. However do not mistaken FGM for Female Circumcision.
I am from Gambia and they did it to me but i will not do it to my kids.
FGM is not a religious practice please! These girls supporting FGM because it's a religious practice have been lied to. Their leaders (mostly men) are brainwashing them. Girls, please learn!
May Allah punished her
She is lying. She is telling you a big lie
You talking with this stupid woman. She has no power and no words in Gambia…
In the Western world people are allowed choose their gender. No one in Africa says something about it. We seen Gays and many more
This is not about politics but, it's about our religion, stop lying to people. It's about the entire country and not politicians
We Want Jammeh back
Once more my country is making headlines, for the wrong reasons.😮
What does The Gambia have that they think the West wants?
Africans believe WAY too much backwards shyt for me. And the Muslim religion having women walk around with all of those clothes is pure torture. I could never! I am so thankful I was raised in America without religion.
disgusting religious vile old men in charge mess the world up with their misogyny as usual!!
vile
What do they cut?
Mutilation is a very arrogant word been used…the right word should be circumcision instead
Let the men get down sized
Jaha Dukureh, you're not saying the truth
No wonder Gambia is very progressive.these are people who are stuck in stupidity and superstition
So many people are killed and suffering because of following one psychopath.
Gambia gets millions of dollars in aid from Canada and other western countries– so I hope they plan on making that up elsewhere if they allow FGM.
They are filling the streets with misinformation/ disinformation with lies to confuse and agitate people.
They are fermenting extremist views to divide people. Circumcision has nothing to do with religion. It is a traditional practice that needs to change. Keep up the fight. If you give up your power to these men and some uninformed Women , you will never get it back.
