Controversy Surrounds Push For Legalization Of Female Genital Mutilation In The Gambia (Video)

Amidst heated debates and conflicting opinions, a group of women in The Gambia has voiced their support for the legalization of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), igniting a firestorm of controversy both locally and internationally.

Despite fervent opposition from activists and FGM survivors, The Gambia's parliament has taken a bold step forward by advancing a bill aimed at decriminalizing the practice of FGM. If the bill successfully passes into law, The Gambia would mark a historic moment as the first country to reverse a ban on FGM.

Adding fuel to the contentious issue, an Imam in The Gambia has emerged as a vocal advocate for FGM, citing religious justifications for the controversial practice. In a statement that has stirred intense backlash, the Imam argued that FGM is rooted in Islamic teachings and advocated for the circumcision of women.

According to the Imam, women who possess clitorises are prone to experiencing persistent itching, compelling them to incessantly scratch their private parts. Furthermore, he claimed that clitorises lead to the leakage of fluids from women's genitals, supporting his argument for the necessity of FGM.

The Imam's remarks have reignited discussions about the intersection of religion, culture, and women's rights, prompting calls for a more nuanced understanding of the complex issues surrounding FGM and the protection of women's bodily autonomy.

An Imam knows how a woman body functions...interesting! Uneducated idiot. What itching was he talking about? You do female circumcision to prevent them from being promiscuous but even the circumcised are out there doing olosho for money whether they enjoy the act or not. In those days, at the first sign of menstrual cycle, girls are preped for marriage just to prevent promiscuity but these days, it is sheer wickedness to circumcised females because when it is time to really enjoy their bodies, they struggle and some never even experience that joy in their lifetime! STOP!
