SubhanAllah! The undisputable end for all of us.

May our return to our Lord be at the moment when He is most pleased with us.

[Network Against GBV-The Gambia 🇬🇲 @NgbvGambia]

We called on the Government of The Gambia to fulfill its obligation to protect the rights and welfare of women and girls through the full and effective enforcement of the law.
