近日，冈比亚议会投票了通过一项推翻2015年禁止女性割礼（残割女性生殖器）的禁令的法案。
女性割礼是对妇女和女童的暴力行为。这是一种医学上不必要且不可逆的程序，会伤害妇女和女童的身体和心理健康。在冈比亚，各方维权团体都一直在为禁止女性割礼发声。
冈比亚应当保护禁止女性割礼的法令，因为妇女和女童有权享有健康和身体自主，免受暴力和残忍对待。 source

elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
Telegram has no known backdoors and, even though it is come in for criticism for using proprietary encryption methods instead of open-source ones, those have yet to be compromised. While no messaging app can guarantee a 100% impermeable defense against determined attackers, Telegram is vulnerabilities are few and either theoretical or based on spoof files fooling users into actively enabling an attack.
