The fight against FGM is a fight against human rights violations and this should be a concern for ALL including men!

The fight to stop the Overturn of the ban on female genital mutilation (FGM) in the Gambia🇬🇲 continues.

Such a regression would not only endanger Gambian women & girls but also set a disastrous signal for women's rights accross the continent.

Our #FeministQuote of this week is inspired by Jollof Feminist ✊🏾.

In a powerful conversation with Eyala, she shares her thoughts on the current situation in the Gambia, where a bill threatens to repeal the #FGM ban using religion as a pretext.

Assimiler nos parties génitales à de vulgaires morceaux de viande vise à nous déshumaniser et nous humilier !
L´objectif est très clair.
De tout coeur avec les gambiennes parce que cela nous concerne aussi !
