Say no to the repeal of the FGM/C bill in Gambia and protect the well-being of our mothers, daughters and sisters globally.

The continuation of FGM/C perpetuates harmful gender inequalities and discrimination against women and girls. By maintaining the ban, Gambia can reaffirm its commitment to gender equality and promote social development by challenging harmful cultural norms and practices.

Rehema Gideon, pictured here with Rhobi Samwelly, is one of the Hope for Girls and Women Tanzania girls that is sponsored through Tharien's Art (https://www.thariensart.com/) and your generous support.
Rehema finished her second year of studying Pharmaceutical Science with an average A and will shortly start her final year at Tandabui Institute of Health Sciences and Technology in Mwanza.
Upon completion of the diploma, she will be able to work either in a hospital or in a pharmacy. Her choice at this stage is to find employment in a pharmacy. But her goal is to eventually study medicine, and to become a doctor!
