Girls can end FGM in their generation. When girls know their rights, understand that their bodies belong to them, and have safe spaces to speak and support one another, they become the change their communities need. #EndFGM220 #GirlsCanEndFGM #SafeSpaces #SS4G

Grandmothers are building trust with girls through storytelling; creating safe spaces and challenging harmful norms. Here’s what one grandmother from JJB shared 👇🏾 We are grateful to @UNFPATheGambia for believing in this transformative change and for supporting the initiative.

With school holidays, girls are at increased risk of #FGM, including across borders. Through our cross‑border project supported by @UNFPATheGambia , we are working closely with border officials & border communities to strengthen vigilance and early reporting.

My daughter charges five bucks for washing dishes at home, and she's been doing it for half a year already. My son said today that he wants to wash them too, but only for three bucks. He wants me to fire his sister. I told my older daughter:

Do you know the power traditional communicators hold within communities? They can: ✅ Educate ✅ Influence positive change ✅ Shape decision making ✅ Foster strong community relationships These are all critical elements in the fight against FGM. #EndFGM #EndGBV @UNFPATheGambia

For every generation, there were women who led, spoke, and acted - paving the way for those who came after. At #FeministBantaba, we brought veterans, mid-career organisers, young & emerging feminists together — to learn, share, and build on the legacies that built this movement.

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. #EndFGM220 #feministresistance

Feminist solidarity isn’t just a feeling, it’s an action. From everyday acts of care to loud advocacy, every effort counts in building a fairer world. Tag a changemaker who inspires you to keep pushing forward! 👇

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!
