A court in #TheGambia has acquitted the three women charged in the death of an infant following an alleged FGM procedure. Our grantee partner @GamcotrapG
continues to lead frontline efforts to end FGM and protect girls’ rights. Laws alone are not enough. #EndFGM

Healing starts with the right support. At the ACT Workshop in Banjul, we’re highlighting SARCs as the gold standard for survivor-centered care.
These "one-stop shops" provide medical, legal, and psychosocial support in one safe space. 🛡️
Do you know where your local SARC is?

As women lead the resistance against FGM, traditional communicators are transforming their stance into powerful cultural education through art and story telling in the Lower River Region of the Gambia.
@girlsalliance change is already happening. #endFGM
