‘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.
Al Jazeera|Kaddy Jawo

In  2015, the Gambian parliament took the historic step to pass the Women’s (Amendment) Act of 2015, which criminalised FGM and made it punishable by up to three years in prison – a significant shift after years of advocacy.

But recently, on March 18, politicians voted 42 to 4 to advance a controversial new bill which would repeal the landmark FGM ban if it passes following further consultation and expert opinion from specialised government ministries.

Just thinking about the speeding ticket I got in NY in my early 20s that I never paid for. And then I got one last year but like, what happened to that first one? Did it just disappear? Do I have a warrant in li? Lol it's at least a decade old at this point

Everywhere you look, you see countless ways of men being cruel and evil towards girls and women.

A real-life law change in India provided a wonderful control experiment for researchers: in 1993, the Indian government passed a constitutional amendment to address the dearth of female leaders in local politics. In each five-year election cycle, one their of villages were randomly selected to appoint a female pradhan or chief.
The result? After two cycles of having a female pradhan in a village, perceptions of women in leadership improved among both male and female villagers. What is more, parents' aspirations for their daughters increased: they were 45 per cent more likely to want their girls to progress beyond secondary school than parents in villages that had never had a female leader. Meanwhile, the girls themselves had greater ambitions, did better at school and shared household chores more equally with their brothers.

– Mary Ann Sieghart (2021) The Authority Gap: Why Women are Still Taken Less Seriously Than Men and What We Can Do About It, p. 306.
