Love responsibly. Protect intentionally. ❤️ On this National Condom Day, we’re reminding everyone that safe choices are smart choices. Condoms are a simple, effective way to prevent STIs and unplanned pregnancies — because caring for yourself and your partner is always in style.

Right Now: The Gambia's FGM ban of 2015 is under attack, again, at the Supreme Court. As we commemorate International Day of Zero Tolerance Against FGM today, pro-FGM groups and individuals are challenging the anti-FGM law of 2015 on the basis of religious and cultural freedom.

✅ Introduce sign language interpretation in the National Assembly ✅ Integrate SLI in the national school curriculum ✅ Increase training of teachers in inclusive education ✅ Representation of PWDs at all local councils.

Policymakers, MDAs & NHRIs convened at the Policy Dialogue to strengthen and advance inclusive laws. Some Key Recommendations: ✅ Establish clear accountability mechanisms for parliamentarians with timelines. ✅ Ensure nomination of PWDs to the assembly after elections.
