“As the debate over the proposed repeal of the law banning Female Genital
Mutilation (FGM) intensifies, we are deeply concerned by the potential reversal
of decades of work invested in protecting the rights and dignity of women and
girls.

“The proposed repeal of the ban on FGM, referred to as female circumcision in
the 2015 Women’s (Amendment) Act, is a severe violation of human rights, and a
setback in the global fight against gender-based violence. This move not only
disregards the immense suffering experienced by survivors of FGM, but also
undermines the progress made in raising awareness, changing attitudes, and
mobilizing communities to abandon this harmful practice. It sends a message that
the rights and dignity of girls and women are expendable, perpetuating a cycle
of discrimination and violence that has no place in a just and equitable
society.

“The introduction of the ban on FGM in The Gambia in 2015 represents a
significant milestone in the country’s efforts to safeguard the rights and
well-being of its female population, and was seen as a model of progressive
legislation worldwide. It serves as a beacon of hope for countless girls, many
without a voice, who faced the risk of undergoing this traumatic procedure, and
it signalled the government’s commitment to ending the harmful practice.

“Repealing this law will set a dangerous precedent and make The Gambia the first
country in the world to have stepped back from such commitments.




“The Gambia is signatory to multiple international instruments that uphold and
protect the rights of women and girls. Therefore, we firmly call on the
government to uphold its obligations under international human rights law and
maintain the ban on FGM. We also urge the government to strengthen its efforts
to prevent and address the practice through robust enforcement mechanisms, and
targeted interventions with communities, including men and boys, as well as
strengthening health services, and expanding opportunities for women and girls,
to address the root causes.

“We stand in solidarity with survivors, activists, civil society organizations,
faith-based organizations, and all those working tirelessly to end this human
rights violation. Together, we must redouble our efforts to protect the rights
and dignity of girls and women everywhere and ensure a future free from the
harmful practice of FGM.”
