As Uganda today joins the world to mark the International day against Female Genital Mutilation, female legislators are concerned that the practice continues despite the existence of the law.

Speaking to journalists, Mps including Florence Ibi, Sylvia Namabidde, Florence Namayanja and Grace Namara say there is need for more combined effort in creating more awareness about the law.

They also want a deliberate sensitization program by the ministry of gender against the vice among other things as they elaborate.
