This birthday, I want to make a real difference. By supporting a goat sharing program in Marigot, Haiti, we can help families thrive. Just one goat can provide food, income, and dignity. Every dollar counts. Please share and consider donating. Thank you! gofund.me/ba894c24e

"Following the vote today by the National Assembly of The Gambia, we commend the country’s decision to uphold the ban on FGM, reaffirming its commitments to human rights, gender equality, and protecting the health and well-being of girls and women." bit.ly/4d3ynzc

For us at Safe Hands For Girls, every stakeholder is needed in our campaign against #FGM. To ensure more solidarity in this important work, our team convened a dialogue with Imams in Brikama to highlight the medical complications of #FGM and dwell on how it affects the general welfares and wellbeing of girls. Our Founder @JahaENDFGM shared her experience as a survivor and the need to build synergies to ensure women and girls are protected. Mr. Mass Laye, who gathered over 30 years experience in medical practice expanded on how #FGM affects the health of women and girls especially during intimacy, menstruation and labor. It was amazing how recipient the Imams were and how much they were willing to listen as we seek to chart a way forward in protecting women and girls. The campaign continues! #EndFGM220

🌟 Huge thanks to @EAA_Foundation for joining us on our recent mission! 📚 The mission focused on education, aiming for zero out-of-school children. Together, we're making a difference for children in The Gambia. 🙏 #EducationForAllChildren #ThankYou #Partnership

Dr. Abubacarr Jah, a leading voice in The Gambia, underscores a critical truth: FGM cannot be justified in any medical context. We must unite in condemning this harmful practice and advocating for its eradication. foroyaa.net/dr-abubacarr-j… #EndFGM

In the fight against #FGM everyone counts, including men/boys. Be reminded that FGM has no health benefits! #EndFGMnow #EndFGM220

@ShSenGupta @unicefprotects A lot of efforts is still needed in parenting programming to help parents understand the psychological development of children and how to better support a healthy development.

Families are central to #ChildProtection, but they need support to reduce violence against women & children. On this Intl Day of the Family, let's ensure the importance of parenting support in creating safe families is widely known. Please share 👉🏾: bit.ly/4dGxOw2
