Girls' Pride Gambia

07/11/2025

When young people are given safe spaces to talk openly about their bodies, their health, and the issues that shape their lives, something powerful happens.

They grow into adults who communicate with confidence, who break silence and stigma, especially around topics like menstrual hygiene, teenage pregnancy, FGM, STIs, and gender-based violence.

The Funneh Board Game is sparking these conversations in a joyful, respectful, and empowering way.

We are not just teaching. We are transforming generations through play.

When girls learn proper menstrual hygiene practices, they are empowered to avoid using unsafe materials like dirty cloths or rags, and to not overuse reusable or disposable pads for too long.

This knowledge enables them to make safer choices, maintain cleanliness, and protect their reproductive health, especially in resource-limited settings.

Last week, we witnessed the power of gamification for social change as students engaged deeply in conversations on Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM) using the Funneh Board Game, a tool designed to spark critical thinking, empathy, and dialogue.

Through a step-down training facilitated at the school, 50 students were trained and empowered as ambassadors who will now take the lead in raising awareness about the harmful physical, psychological, and social impacts of FGM within their school and surrounding communities.

This is how we shift power, build understanding, and transform communities from within. One conversation, one game, one champion at a time.

Girls’ Pride Gambia was represented by Musa Wally, our dedicated Social Worker and SRH Trainer, at a 5-day GBV Case Management Training of Trainers held from 20–24 October 2025 at Metzy Hotel.

The training, organized under the SWEDD+ Project with support from UNFPA The Gambia and the World Bank, brought together social workers and practitioners from across the country to strengthen their knowledge and enhance coordination in providing quality support to survivors of gender-based violence.

We deeply appreciate this continued collaboration aimed at advancing gender equality and protecting vulnerable populations. At Girls’ Pride Gambia, we remain committed to empowering girls and women and contributing to a society where everyone can live free from violence and discrimination.

From FGM awareness to MHHM education.

Teachers are not just educators, they are agents of change.

When teachers lead, narratives shift. When narratives shift, generations thrive.
