Senegal 🇸🇳 President Bassírou Diomaye Diakhar Faye: “Entire generations have grown up in Palestine in the shadow of oppression. They are deprived of their fundamental rights to a viable state. This war spares no woman no child…and is an open wound on the international conscience.”
One by one world leaders are taking the stage at the UN to declare their support of the Palestinian people, but the host nation of the US has obstructed justice at every juncture.

Join us TOMORROW on a X (Twitter) Space to discuss the Win for Gambian Women and Girls as The Women’s Amendment Bill 2024 got REJECTED!!!!
Let’s reflect on the impact this has and the challenges that lie ahead. It’s #EndFGM220 all day, everyday !!!!
@k_tijay Sometimes I wish we can at least try to see multiple point of views before we make such statements - at least we need to understand the root cause of the Protest - beside calling the governments thief isn’t a lie
To add on to one Musu was saying regarding women not recognizing how FGM has affected women in The Gambia 🇬🇲 aside from patriarchal norms, we fail to understand and connect the implications of FGM on us thinking it’s normal consequences we should face as women.
📢📢📢 We are at the National Assembly today for the presentation of the report from the Select Committee on Health and Gender on the Women's (Amendment) Bill 2024. We will share live updates and all the happenings in chambers today.

We are pleased that National Assembly Members today adopted the report of the Joint Committee on the Women’s Amendment Bill 2024.

#EndFGM220
Today MPs will present their findings and recommendations from stakeholder consultations on #FGMLegislations in The 🇬🇲
A big shout out to all anti-FGM campaigners who over the last 11 months have fought tirelessly to ensure that the ban on #FGM remains.
To the survivors whom dispite the re-trauma of recounting their experiences used their stories to effect change nd dispel myths on the impact of the practice on women.
Our partners thank you for standing with us and for standing for women and children’s rights.
Earlier today, we joined the @ACornerBanjul Speaker Series for a talk on the theme “Diversity and Inclusion: Creating an Inclusive Culture.”

I was on @BBCWomansHour to discuss the current threat to repeal #FGMBan in 🇬🇲
As the summer school holidays approach several girls are at risk of #FGM including those that might be travelling to 🇬🇲 from the UK as many communities believe the law is no longer applicable.
