Women rights’ groups have decried the delay by the East African Community presidents to assent to the anti-female genital mutilation Bill, almost two years after it was passed by the regional assembly.
The Uganda Association of Women Lawyers (Fida-Uganda) met with the East African Legislative Assembly’s Committee on Legal, Rules and Privileges at the EAC headquarters in Arusha, Tanzania on Monday in a bid to push for the revival of debate and assentation of the Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation Bill, 2016.
