In her paper titled “The
Politics of FGM: The Influence of External and Locally-Led Initiatives in the Gambia”
Dr. Isatou Touray contextualizes Female Genital Mutilation as part of the
development agenda throughout the world.
A development issue that transcends
the African continent, and as inter and intra-racial marriages are taking place
so also is FGM an issue for immigrants in the Diaspora.
Dr. Isatou Touray, the
Executive Director of GAMCOTRAP, an anti-FGM Gambian agency, was guest speaker at
the Gender Institute at the London School of Economics on March 18, 2013.
