The attempt to lift the FGM ban in The Gambia isn't an isolated incident, it’s part of a global anti-rights backlash.
We cannot let hard-won rights be dismantled. We must resist, protect gender equality, and stand with the frontlines.

At a time when anti-rights backlash is intensifying, feminist solidarity is more critical than ever.
In The Gambia, feminists are actively resisting by:
✊ Building solidarity across movements
🗣️ Challenging misinformation
🤝 Supporting survivors
⚖️ Defending hard-won laws

Our GBV Survivors Network is here ✨
A survivor-led space for healing, truth-telling, & community.
More than statistics survivors can shape policies, challenge harmful systems & lead conversations on GBV and FGM.

In our spaces, mental health care and wellness go beyond clinical interventions.
Through #DrumTherapy, #ArtTherapy, #FireCircles, and #Yoga, we continue to explore alternative pathways to healing, connection, and coping.

Invalidating a woman’s experience of abuse because you personally had a “good” interaction with her abuser is a form of complicity. It centers your comfort over her reality and protects harm instead of confronting it.

Yesss.
That is why we are excited about new project in Gambia.
Survivors have the power to lead change in ending FGM.
👏🏾👏🏾

FGM survivors in practicing communities hold social capital. They can navigate sensitive conversations on FGM, child marriage and menstrual health with a level of cultural relevance that others cannot match. They can convince other mothers and grandmothers to abandon FGM.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month should center survivors, not silence them.
But what we’re seeing in the Gambia is victim blaming, public scrutiny, and narratives that shift focus away from accountability.
This retraumatizes survivors and normalizes violence.

The current discourse surrounding child sexual violence is disturbing. We cannot normalize victim blaming.
The facts remain:
📍 The age of consent is 18.
📍 Abuse is never the child’s fault.
📍 Accountability must be absolute.
We stand for the protection of every child.

IN partnership with @men4equality1 & with the support of @UNICEFGambia, this week, we empowered CSO reps tackling harmful practices like #FGM & child marriage with skills in #GTA
Together, we’re driving change for girls & women!
