Child sexual violence cases are not just threats, they expose gaps in protection systems.

This is why strict laws, consistent enforcement, and institutional accountability are essential.

Child protection must move beyond policy into practice.

We renew our call to all stakeholders to continue to break barriers and build power by advancing women’s political participation and representation in The #Gambia.

"Through the stories it tells and the narratives it reinforces or challenged, the media influences how women leaders are perceived and how political ambition by women is normalised or questioned. "- @IsatouKeita2 , President @gmpressunion .

Today we've convened over 200 partners, Parliament, Gov't, Political Parties, Diplomatic Corps, CSOs & Media, at the National Conference on Women’s Political Participation & Representation to confront barriers, build power, & accelerate action for women’s leadership in politics.

"Parliament is the People’s House & the People include the women of The 🇬🇲. The barriers of gatekeeping within political parties must be dismantled. Political parties must move beyond using women as mobilizers & start investing in them as candidates. " @HonAbdoulie

[GenderPlatform @genda_platform]

Ngansimbas are vital stakeholders in the FGM discourse. Last weekend, we brought practitioners together to understand why #FGM persists: it's seen as tradition, a source of income, and fueled by social pressure.
We must address the root causes!
