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

There is nothing Pan‑African about cutting girls’ genitals. FGM is oppression, not liberation. Pan‑Africanism is rooted in equality, justice, and respect for women’s bodies and lives!

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.

While the Government of The Gambia has removed import duty & VAT on sanitary pads to improve affordability, questions remain about whether these policies are truly reducing prices & improving access for girls and women.
Menstrual dignity must move from policy to reality.

We are rolling out our #GTA program with MDFTs in #CRR & #URR embedding gender‑transformative principles in community prevention & response.
Photos 👇🏾 show gender norms participants shared from their communities.
We’re unpacking how these shape men, women & society @BaldehF

Someone said to me “Hijab and Feminist” and that’s when i started reiterating that women should learn about the deen.
Do not allow people with social or cultural gender biases interpret the deen for you.
They will continue to use religion to justify VAW and VAC. So read, read!

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.

Happy New Month 🌸
As Women’s Month begins, we celebrate strength, but we also confront reality.
Violence against women in The Gambia is not rare.
Mental health struggles linked to abuse are real yet mostly ignored.
A reminder that celebration without protection is incomplete.
