My amazing sister Nimco Ali (OBE) 🪬 on why the trauma of FGM is never a fashion statement glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/nimco-…
' #JuliaFox 's ‘closed vagina’ outfit isn't fashion – it's triggering and traumatic for FGM survivors, like me'. Our CEO Nimco Ali (OBE) 🪬 wrote for British GLAMOUR glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/nimco-… #EndFGM
It is quite pleasing that the President, President Barrow has emphasized at such a crucial time that the country is not ruled with Sharia Law but rather the Constitution and other laws. This has been our strong stance in our commitment to protect our women and girls. We use this…
'Philanthropy, Please Stop Ignoring One of the World's Greatest Abuses Against Women - Female Genital Mutilation'. As relevant now as last July when our CEO Nimco Ali (OBE) 🪬 wrote it for The Chronicle of Philanthropy: philanthropy.com/article/philan… #Africasfemalefuture #EndFGM

Despite outcry from activists and survivors, #TheGambia ’s parliament advanced a bill to decriminalise female genital mutilation. If the bill is passed, the country could become the first to reverse a ban on FGM.
Bill seeking to repeal Gambia’s law banning FGM is putting women & girls at risk. 'This fight is not just a call to repeal the law on FGM but if this request succeeds, we are going to see a widespread rollback on other fundamental rights of women & girls,' Alimatu Dimonekene MBE #EndFGMGambia

Ending female genital mutilation (FGM) is a human rights issue.
We all have a responsibility to push forward for women & girls EVERYWHERE.
We join UN The Gambia and our Regional Goodwill Ambassador Jaha Marie Dukureh to call for an end to this harmful practice.
It's time to #EndFGM now!

Our CEO Nimco Ali (OBE) 🪬 spoke to NPR with UNFPA-UNICEF JP to End Female Genital Mutilation Wisal Ahmed about The Gambia's devastating moves to try to repeal its #FGM ban. #EndFGM npr.org/sections/goats…
