MLAC Day 3 In Farafenni (Kunjo Village).
Day 3 of our Mobile Legal Aid Clinics brought us to Kunjo, Farafenni, a community that welcomed us with warmth and wisdom.
There, we engaged with influential women leaders whose voices shape families and entire generations.
Together, we held meaningful conversations on FLAG’s Pro Bono Legal Services, including human rights violations, inheritance rights, child custody and maintenance, marriage, and divorce.
Our resource persons brought powerful insights to the dialogue. Ms. Jabbie highlighted the laws that protect women and children, while Imam Ousman Jah reminded the community that faith upholds dignity and compassion for all.
Mr. Mass Laye revealed the medical realities of SGBV, FGM, child marriage, and teenage pregnancy, realities that threaten futures and silence dreams.
Each speaker emphasized that culture is our strength, but only when we celebrate its positive values and abandon harmful traditional practices.
Kunju reminded us that when law, faith, culture, and community unite, change is not only possible, it is inevitable.
The women boldly expressed their desire for a strong female representative to champion their rights. And as always, FLAG will continue walking alongside our communities to ensure that every woman, every girl, and every child is protected, empowered, and truly heard.
