Empowering Young Minds: Human Rights, Women’s Rights, and Legal Careers Outreach – 2025
Empowering Young Minds: Human Rights, Women’s Rights, and Legal Careers Outreach – 2025
As part of the 2025 Waging Justice for Women Fellowship, supported by the Clooney Foundation for Justice, the Female Lawyers Association – Gambia (FLAG) conducted an inspiring school outreach session aimed at empowering young Gambians—especially girls and students with disabilities—through legal education and mentorship.
Led by FLAG’s Legal Fellow, the interactive sessions focused on raising awareness about human rights, women’s rights, and gender justice, while encouraging students to consider public interest law as a meaningful and impactful career path.
In many parts of The Gambia, young people still lack access to information about their legal rights and the opportunities available within the justice system. FLAG’s outreach sessions addressed this gap through open discussions, interactive learning, and storytelling, creating a safe and inclusive space where students could ask questions, connect with legal mentors, and envision themselves as future changemakers.
This initiative is part of FLAG’s ongoing commitment to nurturing a new generation dedicated to equality, fairness, and social transformation in their communities.
