I commend the #AfricanWomenConference for convening such a timely and significant gathering to discuss how we can jointly accelerate women's empowerment and gender inclusion through media, ICT and entertainment.
“Africa is expanding and strengthening partnerships to fully harness the enormous potential of our youthful and diverse population. Yet, it is a population that urgently needs start-up support to explore green businesses and other dev’t opportunities.”@BarrowPresident#TICAD8
I led a high-level delegation to Miami, Florida, in a bid to improve educational possibilities, foster relationships between The Gambia and the City of North Miami Beach on a cultural, economic, and governmental level, and create health opportunities.
It was an honour to receive an award in Miami, Florida, recognising my role in supporting women and girls in #Gambia. The Mayors of Broward and Miramar also presented me with the Keys to their Cities, symbolising the beginning of a fruitful relationship.
Well done to the boys for their 1:0 win against South Sudan in the ongoing #TotalEnergiesAFCONQ2023 qualifiers. Stay committed and focused, we can do this!
The #ZeroFistulaGMB Campaign, a collaboration between my office, @UNFPATheGambia, and @MohGambia, was launched with great enthusiasm. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the need to eliminate obstetric Fistula by 2030, a serious childbirth condition that affects women.
#Zerodosechildren live in communities that suffer not just from high child mortality but also high maternal deaths. They represent the face of extreme poverty, but by working together, we can ensure no child is left behind.

I delivered food supplies to the Christian Council for the Christian community, in honor of the Holy month of Lent. Lent is not simply a time of fasting, but also of sharing and caring for one another.
I wish the Christian community a blessed Lent.
Today, more than ever, we will continue to support and build the individual power of girls and women across the country, and we expect the commemoration to be a milestone event in the promotion of gender equality and empowerment of women in The Gambia and beyond. #IWD2022
#FGM continues to further exacerbate deeply rooted gender inequalities in societies by limiting opportunities for girls and women to realize their rights and full potential.

When women are economically empowered, they are willing to take risks and make their own life choices. I salute all Gambian women who are fighting for equality, peace and justice. #IWD2021#Gambia
