[Equals Now @equals_now]

As #ZeroTolerance day draws to an end, we reaffirm our position to #EndFGM & call for accountability for perpetrators. We also celebrate the feminists who have paved our way in this fight, those in the fight and the many girls we inspire to join us. #Invest2EndFGM #EndFGM220

[Ngenarr-Yassin Jeng @ms_petite_j]

The last two years have been particularly challenging for the fight against #FGM in The Gambia. However, we remain steadfast in our goal to create a world free from harm for all women and girls. #Invest2EndFGM #EndFGM220

[Equals Now @equals_now]

The theory is simple,
Investment = sustained interest and progress. Together we can #EndFGM. #Invest2EndFGM #EndFGM220

[Matida Maryam (MaMa)🇲🇱🇸🇳🇬🇲 @mamakbeh]

The pain of FGM does not end when the wound heals, sometimes it does not heal at, girls and young women carry this pain in every stage of their womanhood, complications at during pregnancy and childbirth, and infections that burden our already fragile health care system #EndFGM

[Equals Now @equals_now]

In The Gambia, the law against #FGM has been under threat despite the known harmful effects of the practice. We call on @AssemblyGambia and @JudiciaryGambia to maintain the FGM law for the protection of women & girls. #Invest2EndFGM #EndFGM220 #EndFGM

[Ngenarr-Yassin Jeng @ms_petite_j]

Today, we remind all stakeholders of the importance of our work ro #EndFGM and the equal importance of #Invest2EndFGM. With continued commitment and #ZeroTolerance, we can certainly achieve this goal.

[Ngenarr-Yassin Jeng @ms_petite_j]

FGM is a Human Rights violation and is unacceptable and must stop. All women and girl deserve SAFETY, DIGNITY & JUSTICE #EndFGM #EndFGM220 #Invest2EndFGM

[Equals Now @equals_now]

Over 2 million girls are exposed to FGM annually. We asked our members what #ZeroToleranceDay means to them and the response was resounding:
Safety, Dignity & Justice for all women and girls.
#EndFGM #EndFGM220 #Invest2EndFGM

[Equals Now @equals_now]

It's #ZeroToleranceDay for FGM. Equals Now joins the call for sustained commitment and investment as we believe in safe spaces for women and girls. We reaffirm our commitment to keep pushing to #EndFGM. #EndFGM220 #Invest2EndFGM

[Matida Maryam (MaMa)🇲🇱🇸🇳🇬🇲 @mamakbeh]

Standing with victims of FGM, female genital mutilation is cruel but exposing a tiny baby to baby to such a gruesome act should not go unpunished

[Equals Now @equals_now]

We are saddened to learn of the FGM related deaths of two infants. FGM is a human rights violation with severe consequences for women & girls. As always, we stand with survivors & call on the State to take relevant action to ensure a violence free world for women & girls. #EndFGM

[Equals Now @equals_now]

A special thank you to everyone who showed up and contributed towards the success of this #Jotai and to the EN team for putting it together. As we celebrate #HumanRightsDay today, let's all keep working to break barriers and advance equality for all. See you at the next #Jotai

[Equals Now @equals_now]

Last Saturday, we hosted #Jotai and were excited to see and welcome both old and new members to our community. The conversation focused on various aspects of #VAW and what steps can be taken to combat it. #16DaysOfActivism

[Equals Now @equals_now]

@Fatoumata390 for reminding us of the interlinkages between climate change, violence and wellbeing as well as the importance of building adaptable and resilient communities and @YoshGambia for graciously hosting this edition of #Jotai #16DaysOfActivism
