Gamcotrap

Change is happening..
GAMCOTRAP held a three day capacity building with a youth group from URR on the issues affecting their communities including FGM, VAW and the laws protecting the rights of women and girls.

As women lead the resistance against FGM, traditional communicators are transforming their stance into powerful cultural education through art and story telling in the Lower River Region of the Gambia. Girls Opportunity Alliance change is already happening.

Today at the High Court of The Gambia, GAMCOTRAP stood firm.

The organization appeared as a defendant in the ongoing FGM case, represented by Lawyer Lamin K. Mboge of Mari bantang Chambers, to defend the law that protects women and girls.

This case is about justice, dignity, and human rights. We remain committed to ensuring that the anti-FGM law is upheld and that girls in The Gambia are protected from harmful practices.

In the heart of Jarra Soma, a circle of women became a circle of power under the strength of a mango tree.

Stories told, Courage shared and each voice adding
strength to the fight against FGM.
