We are truly saddened by the sudden loss of Dr Webster Zambara. A great man and a visionary whose loss will be felt all through Africa.
Dr Zambara deeply loved his continent, his country and his fellow Africans. He took time to understand the intricacies of the different cultures and immersed himself wholly into the communities he worked in.
Thank you for all you did for peace on the African continent and for all the work that will continue because of your vision.

The Gambia National Assembly has voted down all the clauses of the proposed bill to repeal the Women’s (Amendment) Act, making the bill null and void.
What an incredible win for the women of The Gambia, for women everywhere!
There are still deeply rooted structures within our societies that undercut the rights of girls and women. The fact that the bill to repeal the Women’s Act was even up for consideration shows us how far there still is to go.
But with each victory, with each new stride we get closer to justice.
