The sessions covered female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), child marriage, teenage pregnancy and the laws on them. The outreach took place in 8 junior and senior secondary schools in the Kiang and Foni areas.
The work was part of a project funded by AmplifyChange through ActionAid International The Gambia.
