As The World celebrates International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation, GAMCOTRAP believed it should not be tolerated for any reason

The girl's child body should be preserving and protected from all harmful traditional practices and FGM should not be practice in the name of Islam says Dr Isatou Touray, executive director of GAMCOTRAP, a right base NGO for women working in the area of women's health in Gambia.
