Why The Gambia could be reversing its FGM ban?
The Gambian parliament will debate today a bill that seeks to reverse a ban on female genital mutilation (FGM).
If the legislators agree to consider it, the bill will be taken through a committee for further scrutiny.
FGM was criminalised in The Gambia in 2015, but some seek to overturn the ban, claiming it violates religious freedom and cultural practices.
The BBC’s Esther Ogola explains.
