Dr. Fuambai Sia Ahmadu- Founder of "Gambia Women Are Free To Choose," Addresses Rejection of FGM Ban Lift Bill

The sad thing is all this organisations who are in support or against the FGM are just making money in the name of our girl's and women who don't even deserve all this issues going on in the country, all what our girl's and women want is to empower them into agriculture and other businesses 😢😭

The Dr went to great lengths to explain that there is no money for those supporting the right of women to be circumcised, what didn't you understand?? Seems like the Dr. is a good role model for girls' and womens' empowerment.

Just Googled GWA-FC & it’s main focus / mission is to work with circumcised women. Would like to know the data ( health, psychological, physical, mental, emotional, sociological factors) they have collected to educate the Scientific Community & people in general ? . How does her organization get its funding & where is it based ? GWA-FC should be fighting for the fundamental rights of all women if it wants to be taken seriously. Advocating for FGM is cruel & dangerous.

No man in Gambia will want to be castrated ( the equivalent of FGM ) , to minimize the practice by this Dr is simply unbelievable & irresponsible. She is not a serious person.

Actually, male and female circumcision are much more similar than Westerners believe. Circumcised women are NOT "castrated women." They can enjoy sex and they can reach orgasms. Yes, it's often a painful procedure with many health risks. Male circumcision is also a painful procedure with many health risks. Male and female procedures are done in parallel and no known culture singles out females. "Labiaplasty" and "designer vaginas" are basically female circumcision done by Western doctors on Western females.

Obviously insulting nonsense! FGM is defined as any non medical injury, which is very far from what you claim. If women subjected to the practice became sterile as a result then the tradition would have died out in a single generation! The equivalent is obviously any non medical injury of the male in that same part of the body. Male circumcision is defined as the removal of the foreskin, which is a type of penectomy. This involves the total ablation or widening of the phimotic ring with permanent exposure of the entire glans, in children necessitating the prising off of the mucosal foreskin, and amputating the prepuce, repositioning through the suturing of the proximal skin to the mucosa, with or without the complete excision of the frenulum. In terms of FGM this is equivalent to the most severe form of infibulation where parts are amputated in addition to the suturing.

[@denisenoe3702]

This is a myth. Female circumcision is NOT female castration. Women who have been circumcised can enjoy sex and they can reach orgasms. The truth is that the majority of the female sex system is internal so arousal and orgasm remain possible. In some cultures, what is done to the female is LESS invasive than what is done to the male.
