Today the 29-year-old from Bundung, a town on the outskirts of The Gambian capital Banjul, says she will shield her baby daughter from the same fate that scarred her, even as parliament takes steps toward lifting a ban on FGM.

‘Over my dead body’, say Gambian mothers amid efforts to lift FGM ban

As politicians work to repeal anti-female circumcision law, women stand firm to shield the next generation of girls.
