SUDAN 🇸🇩.

The Sovereign Council, the highest ruling body in Sudan, approved on July 10, 2020 a law penalizing female genital mutilation, an ancestral practice which remains widespread in the country.

This High Authority, made up of civil citizens, including women, and of military citizens, has enacted a series of laws, including that criminalizing female circumcision, a practice “which undermines the dignity of women”, according to a press release from the ministry of Justice.
