Watch highlights from the Project Leadify Bootcamp, where 20 inspiring young women gathered for an intensive two-day workshop designed to enhance their political awareness and leadership skills. Held from November 2023, this immersive experience provided participants with essential knowledge on political processes, advocacy strategies, and the importance of women’s involvement in politics. During the bootcamp, attendees engaged in dynamic discussions, hands-on activities, and interactive sessions with experts, equipping them with the tools to become active participants in governance and drive meaningful change in their communities. This video showcases their journey, learning moments, and the impactful skills they gained to shape their future roles as leaders and advocates.

As the world marks another International Day of Zero for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), we take a moment to reflect on our community engagement efforts aimed at eradicating this harmful practice. With countless pledges to protect girls from FGM and other threats to their wellbeing, our commitment remains steadfast. We pledge to persistently invest our resources in ending female genital mutilation within our generation.

The knowledge we provide our mentees is aimed at helping them understand their rights and work with us to combat harmful traditional practices and sexual and gender-based violence. Watch an inspiring video from our mentorship program earlier this year. The project is funded by UNICEF!

A core part of our work is ensuring that we reach out to communities to not only educate them on the effects of harmful traditional practices such as FGM and Child Marriage but to also listen, learn and bring our thoughts together on better ways to eradicate these practices. We had such an exciting time in Soma, listening intensively to community stakeholders and engaging them on best practices to protect women and girls. This project was funded by UNICEF!

Education enables girls to: ✅challenge discriminatory gender norms. ✅advance their skills, knowledge, and power. ✅achieve their dreams and fulfil their potential.

Last month, we held a School Outreach seminar with 100 high school students from 10 different schools to discuss Child Marriage and FGM. This activity was funded by UNICEF and It was a groundbreaking event as young people took centre stage and provided recommendations for ending these practices.

Young people play a huge role in ending harmful traditional practices against girls and young women. During our School Outreach Program which we implemented as one of our funded UNICEF activities, young people actively participate and pledge to end FGM and Child Marriage in The Gambia.
