Because when women meet, organize, and lead, transformative change happens. The future of gender justice depends on strong feminist movements. #FeministBantaba #FeministResist #EndFGM220

This is why solidarity matters. Strong movements are built through collaboration, trust, collective care, and shared action - not competition and isolation. Meet organizations leading feminist change in The Gambia. 🗣️💪🏾🔥 #FeministBantaba @SS4Girls @ThinkYoungWomen

Yet growing anti-rights backlash, attacks on feminist voices, and shrinking resources threaten hard-won gains and movement sustainability. #FeministBantaba #EndFGM220 #FeministResist

As anti-rights backlash grows and funding shrinks, solidarity means more than hashtags - it is centering survivors, amplifying women and girls, challenging harmful narratives, and funding feminist-led work. Rights and justice need sustainable investment. #FeministBantaba #EndFGM

As #ZeroTolerance day draws to an end, we reaffirm our position to #EndFGM & call for accountability for perpetrators. We also celebrate the feminists who have paved our way in this fight, those in the fight and the many girls we inspire to join us. #Invest2EndFGM #EndFGM220

The last two years have been particularly challenging for the fight against #FGM in The Gambia. However, we remain steadfast in our goal to create a world free from harm for all women and girls. #Invest2EndFGM #EndFGM220
In The Gambia, the law against #FGM has been under threat despite the known harmful effects of the practice. We call on @AssemblyGambia and @JudiciaryGambia to maintain the FGM law for the protection of women & girls. #Invest2EndFGM #EndFGM220 #EndFGM

The pain of FGM does not end when the wound heals, sometimes it does not heal at, girls and young women carry this pain in every stage of their womanhood, complications at during pregnancy and childbirth, and infections that burden our already fragile health care system #EndFGM
