 The Female Lawyers Association–Gambia took the voices of women and children to the airwaves of Paradise FM 105.5 in Farafenni — carrying justice to the people, one community at a time.
As our Mobile Legal Aid Clinic continues its journey across The Gambia, today we paused to speak, to educate, and to stand firmly with the world in the 16 Days of Activism to End Gender-Based Violence.

Mariama Tabally, legal practitioner, who broke down the laws that protect women and children, the institutions ready to support survivors, and the critical work Female Lawyer’s Association, Social workers and the Department of Social Welfare in restoring dignity and hope.
Imam Ousman Jah, a respected religious leader, who reaffirmed the sacred rights of women and children in Islam, reminding us that faith and justice walk hand in hand.
Today’s conversation was more than a radio show.
It was a call to action.
A reminder that when law, health, community, and faith stand together, violence loses its power.
FLAG remains committed, steadfast and mobile, bringing justice closer, breaking silence louder, and building communities where women and children can live free from harm.
