The near-overturn of Gambia’s ban on female genital mutilation (FGM) has sparked a national debate, fostering a broader conversation about women’s rights and bodily autonomy. Women are increasingly speaking out about their experiences, challenging harmful traditions, and advocating for their right to sexual pleasure. Men are also becoming more conscious, promoting positive masculinity and supporting the movement against FGM. This dialogue marks a shift in societal attitudes, highlighting the potential for progress through awareness and collective action.
