Maintaining Relationships to Continue Work to End FGM and Child Marriage in The Gambia – Women Deliver

Since 2017, Marie Jeng (Class of 2018) has maintained open lines of communication with female community leaders who are leading the fight to end FGM and child marriage in their remote communities in the Gambia. In April, Marie reconnected with these leaders, who reaffirmed their commitment to ending gender-based violence. Their commitment demonstrates success in breaking the cycle when it comes to harmful traditions of FGM and child marriage in communities where these practices are widespread.
