Gambia may have upheld its ban on female cutting, but the fight goes on away from parliament.
It was the first time the practice, also known as female circumcision, was publicly discussed.
Reversing it would have been a global first .
The United Nations estimates that about 75% of women in Gambia have been subjected as young girls.
A Gambian mother of six says she was cut by a relative when she was a girl and forced to leave school and get married at the age of 15 .
She and her eldest daughter, Aminata , 26 , rallied women from their village to come to a meeting against the ban.
Not a single woman at the meeting spoke up in defense of the ban, Rabietou said.
