The women and girls trapped in Rafah with nowhere safe to go have already been living the unimaginable. An escalation would be catastrophic and must be prevented. We need an immediate ceasefire. All hostages must be released. The people of #Gaza need peace.

❌ Female genital mutilation is violence against women. As we continue to advance women’s rights, we are appalled by any attempted rollback of legal protection of those rights. We stand with survivors of FGM and with all women and girls in The Gambia. #EndFGM
