Since Monday we initiated a 5-day capacity building workshop for justice sector actors geared toward enhancing justice sector actors’ knowledge on the specialized international legal instruments and mechanisms available to practitioners in The Gambia and their application.

FGM is illegal in The #Gambia! We re-echo the joint call to the Government of The Gambia to protect and fulfill the fundamental #HumanRights of women and girls. We will not stop until #EveryWoman and #EveryGirl is protected. #EndFGM | #EndFGM220

We are experiencing a paradigm shift! Our society wants to “put” women “back” in their “place”. It doesn’t matter what the issue is, weather it adversely affects us, kills us,or negatively affects society; it doesn’t matter! Patriarchy is waging war.

This is sad. Gambia continuously breaks my heart. Like is this where your priority should lie as NAMs? After all the work we put in to have it banned, they’re taking joy in undoing all of it. It is well.

Ngenarr-Yassin Jeng Please, FGM is not and was never a Sunnah. The Hadiths quoted in support or this abominable practice have all been judged “doeef” or weak and outlandish. Jurist committees in many Muslim countries such as Egypt agree with this position.

The Supreme Islamic Council released a Fatwa on FGM/C justifying the practice on religious basis & promoting the repeal of FGM laws; See Statement from The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on #FGM at the 57th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women.

It's World Schizophrenia Day. Schizophrenia affects at least 1% of the population. Someone you know could very well have this disease and not know it, or not tell you about it. Here are some things I have learned firsthand (a loved one has this illness), or from my studies.

I finally listened to Jammeh’s audio and it left me with chills. Perhaps it’s because I have had the opportunity to listen and work closely with some of his victims over the last 5 years and I know the trauma that they continue to live with as a result of the hideous violations

My heart goes out to Comrade Alieu Bah Alieu Bah who has been arrested by the Gambian regime. I send solidarity to this gentle Rasta who not only shares my children’s surname but also shares my passion for a liberated Africa! #FreeAlieuBah
