We reject the imposition of anti-human rights agendas in Africa disguised as “family values.” As African feminists and African people, we know and live our own values of family that are premised on care, justice, inclusion, non-discrimination, solidarity, and community. 🧵

While presenting on Legal and Human Rights Frameworks. Awa Gai reminded participants that FGM can still be prosecuted even if national laws fail, as The Gambia is a signatory to multiple regional and international treaties that uphold the rights of women and girls.

Awa Gai highlighted key instruments that can be used to hold duty bearers accountable, alongside the national law on FGM. This emphasizes the country's obligations and the necessity of aligning national efforts with international human rights standards.
