“Do you have a list of the names of the girls’ your charity has saved from FGM?”
This was a question that (initially) stumped us.
We came up with a holistic response ...

@GMCEndFGM what we need to do as activists, last month our president said that this issue of FGM is past discussions. we need to make sure that law is strictly followed and none of the law enforcers fears
16 Dec 1603760505486802952

@GMCEndFGM the discussion is very essential to all of us as activists. we need to now look for the root cause and handle with the discussion. meanwhile we are happy.

This is when politicis respect human rights and value women's wellbeing. FGM should not he discussed in the 21st century. Actions are needed to stamp it out of our communities. @Sierra Leone where politicians and government officials use FGM to win votes. End FGM

Countries tht have passed a law on FGM should begin implementation as frontliners continue 2 educate the masses. Ignorance of D law is no excuse. Let perpetrators face D consequences of their actions to send a signal 2 others. End FGM by shifting D power 2 frontline campaigners

FGM in Africa still prevalent. In Kenya there are at least 17 counties where cutting of young girls is taking place during this holiday period, despite it being illegal.

Amazing ROI statistics from @UNFPA on investing in girls education (that means stopping FGM, because #FGM is linked to education ending)
Our analysis, based on @Citibank data, shows the dividend in terms of education & health spend from keeping *all* girls in school is immense!

True! Unfortunately, this is not just in the Gambia alone. Campaigners have been asking, "why, to start with, are we not arresting the cutters who are committing these crimes? Why are we going round in circles?"

29 Nov 1597685653525114882

In the Gambia, despite the existence of laws and policies that seek to protect women and girls SGBV is practiced at a prevalence rate of about 76% among women aged 15 - 49 (DHS, 2018). a cause for concern and we call on the gov to prioritize the holding of perpetrators to account
