“ To all victims whose rapists are not presidents.
To all survivors who have paid for survival with silence. May the whispers of our mothers, their mothers and the mothers before them rise in our throats.
I hope we find safety in speaking together.”

Your story matters.
Gambian anti-rape activist and survivor @visiblesurvivor shared how by breaking her silence, she inspired a #MeToo movement in the Gambia, and how you, too, can bring about change at @osloff in Taiwan💜 #OFFinTaiwan
We continue to be amazed and inspired by @VisibleSurvivor and the work they do for human rights. Here Toufah is speaking at this year's Oslo Freedom Forum in Taiwan. https://t.co/tFH0ctBqd8

This week’s #newreleases will have you hooked, from a novel about an intense friendship that changes the course of history to riveting #memoirs from activist #ToufahJallow, the First Lady of Iceland, and more. https://t.co/1966MWlCz4
One year ago, Peng Shuai accused former Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault. She was immediately censored, wiped from the Chinese internet and forcibly disappeared. One year on we still don’t know if she is safe #WhereIsPengShuai@Martina@PatrickMcEnroe
One year ago, Peng Shuai was forcibly disappeared after accusing a CCP leader of sexual assault. I’ve tried hard over past year to raise awareness for her plight, handing out 1000 shirts at the Aus Open. Security at the Wimbledon Final even assaulted me for silently protesting
At @OsloFF Taipei, Gambian anti-rape activist Toufah Jallow @VisibleSurvivor begins her presser statement by saying that today of all days, the most important question is #WhereIsPengShuai – almost exactly one year from when she first disappeared.
Together, a collective of human rights defenders redefining who we are, can be and will become!
The road may seem steep but we are not going back! #OFFNY@OsloFF
Gambian activist & survivor, Toufah Jallow (@VisibleSurvivor and founder of @Homeofsurvivors), sharing how she broke the culture of silence around sexual violence in The Gambia. #OFFinNY
.@VisibleSurvivor Toufah Jallow says “there is no tangible word to describe rape” in her language & talked about forms of violence in Gambia as a sexual assault survivor. I will keep on saying that foremost, violence is hidden in words, in our everyday literacy! #OFFinNY@OsloFF
Rising above tyranny is a big leap, speaking out loud is essential, but where are we on sustaining the impact and being defiant even when our necks are under water?
Join us at the #OFFNY 2022! @OsloFF@YeonmiParkNK@AlinejadMasih@Kasparov63@ckanimba
See you there!
