We celebrate with #Gambia as the Gambian parliament has upheld the ban on Female Genital Mutilation / #FGM by rejecting a bill that sought to lift it. This is a significant victory for women's and girls' rights and we applaud this courageous move to maintain and not roll back the gains made in protecting women's and girls' rights. We stand in solidarity with the tireless efforts of women's and girls' rights activists, organizations and feminist movements and all those who continue to be on the frontline fighting against FGM. #womensrights
