In July, Gambian activists stopped a ban on FGM being overturned in parliament. FGM survivor and UN Women Ambassador Jaha Marie Dukureh says “we had to get survivors to… share their stories… I can’t believe I found myself in this fight nearly 12 years after I founded my organization.”

She is my all time favorite presenter and to be interviewed by her is just too insane. I still can’t believe it. Thank you Christiane for having me. You made me a very happy girl today.

Thank you Jaha Marie Dukureh for your courage, telling your story, giving the world courage to fight this gross violation of rights of girls. It’s torture. Christiane Amanpour thank you. The media continues to play a very strong in this struggle for protection of women’s rights. #Beijing30

So proud to see our Goodwill Ambassador for Africa Jaha Marie Dukureh speaking today on this essential issue. Her work to stop the rollback of the law on FGM in the Gambia was important not only for the women and girls of that country- but for all of those still affected in the world.
