PANAFYL Gambia 🇬🇲

PANAFYL is a coalition of young female progressives across the African continent, aiming at ending all forms of violence against women and children.

As we step into the 16 Days of Activism, we echo Musu’s powerful words, “Legal frameworks that condemn physical violence must equally punish digital violence”.
This is a reminder that It is not enough to end violence in our homes and on our streets

We're thrilled to kick off capacity building of CSOs & religious leaders on inclusive advocacy.

Together they'll redesign messaging tools for greater impact.
Opening graced by the Ministry of Gender, UN Joint Program, CSO Coalition, UN women and ROAJELF Gambia.

@NgbvTheGambia @NgbvGambia @UNICEFGambia @PanafylO Lamin Wajj:
“Scholars has it that FGM was not introduced by any Religion rather, it was an early practice before the coming of Religion.
Thus I believe FGM is a harmful practice that we need to do away with.”

We kick Start a Two Days Training of Trainers on Positive Masculinity.
