The extent to which a government dedicates sufficient, high-quality resources to ECM serves as a compelling indicator of its political commitment towards Ending Child Marriage.

This Monday, I will have the pleasure to present the research report on Ending Child Marriage in West Africa: Enhancing Policy Implementation and Budgeting Sierra Leone and Niger that I had the opportunity to lead and author for @SavetheChildren

[Aïcha Awa Ba @awa_aicha]

6/10 countries with the highest rates of child marriage are in West and Central Africa. When a girl is forced into early marriage, she is likely to drop out of education, experience ongoing GBV, have early and more frequent pregnancies and health risks, and reduced independence.

Words from Bounama's father, a young kid who was shot during the protests and succumbed to his injuries.
"We want there to be fair justice in this country."

Getting the talibés (children who are forced to beg) off the streets was one of the key promises made by Macky Sall after he came to power. But the talibés still roam the streets begging, exposed to sexual predators, to the madness of motorists, to insecurity ...

Police brutality in the 🇺🇸has made us familiar with an atrocious physical sensation a combination of disgust, rage and helplessness.

Never expected to feel the same in 🇸🇳. They’re shooting at children. They’ve killed children. Too young to vote, they were marching. #FreeSenegal

Why are the police using real bullets to shoot at protesters? Why have they been allowed to arm themselves with heavy artillery when the protesters are unarmed??? This is criminal #FreeSenegal

These two students were killed by the police for daring to ask for their scholarships. At the same time, the Minister of Higher Education is mentioned in several financial scandals but has never been hassled by the courts

The violent pushback of the police has started. UCAD (Université Cheikh Anta Diop) students who are known for being very active in protests, were attacked as they protested peacefully while singing the national anthem and marched with the flag in a peaceful manner

In Senegal people have been arrested, detained, injured, & or hospitalized for exercising their right to freedom of speech & right to protest. We have opened a mutual aid fund for legal & medical fees to support those on the ground back home #FreeSenegal https://t.co/yy429V6wC2

Ce 8 mars ne ressemblera a aucun autre 8 mars de l’histoire du Senegal. Pour une fois cette date prendra tout son sens à savoir celui d’un moment fort de lutte pour nos droits et pour l’équité. Retrouvez nous demain au Sit in Pacifique des femmes! #freesenegal #doyna #8mars

Cher Sénégal : il n’y a rien de pire qu’un régime qui piétine et écrase la voix de la jeunesse et de l’opposition. #FreeSenegal #FreeAfrica

[⭐️⭐️Nestaaaa🇸🇳🇸🇩🇵🇸 @NestaWane]

I don’t like how alot of these western medias are framing the protests as being around a rape charge. That is not why people are angry and frustrated. The years of lies, corruption & the blatant disregard for the Senegalese population is why we are fighting #FreeSenegal #EndSARS

[⭐️⭐️Nestaaaa🇸🇳🇸🇩🇵🇸 @NestaWane]

This is no longer a Sonko problem. Sonko was just the straw that broke the donkeys back. He was the spark that ignited a flame that has been brewing from years of corruption, blatant misappropriation of funds and lies from this government. The fight has just started #FreeSenegal
