“At the beginning, the work can be very lonely.”
Long before she served as Vice President of The Gambia, Dr. Isatou Touray was working with women and communities to challenge a practice many had been taught to accept as inevitable.
A survivor of FGM herself, she helped establish @GamcotrapG and spent years travelling to rural communities, creating spaces where women could speak freely and bringing together youth, religious scholars and traditional leaders.
In 2014, the @UNTrustFundEVAW began supporting GAMCOTRAP’s long-standing advocacy and community-based rights education.
30 Years. 30 Voices of Change. This is Dr. Isatou Touray's.

GAMCOTRAP is pleased to be part of this important dialogue in Dakar, Senegal, marking 20 years of WAWORC and advancing Women's Rights coalitions across Africa.
This October we raise our voices, and we will keep raising them long after the pink ribbon comes down.

A court in #TheGambia has acquitted the three women charged in the death of an infant following an alleged FGM procedure. Our grantee partner @GamcotrapG
continues to lead frontline efforts to end FGM and protect girls’ rights. Laws alone are not enough. #EndFGM

Healing starts with the right support. At the ACT Workshop in Banjul, we’re highlighting SARCs as the gold standard for survivor-centered care.
These "one-stop shops" provide medical, legal, and psychosocial support in one safe space. 🛡️
Do you know where your local SARC is?
