ai generated text

The Gambian parliament has upheld its 2015 ban on female genital mutilation (FGM) despite efforts to repeal it. According to Speaker Fabakary Tombong Jatta, a majority of MPs voted against the bill. This decision comes as a relief for rights groups and the United Nations, who had urged lawmakers to reject the bill.
