WE ARE ONLY 5 DAYS FROM the #WALK2ENDFGM

We are almost at the finish line.  After a year of preparations, we are only 5 days away from the 5th #walk2endfgm.   We are excited and are looking forward to seeing you.  It is not too late to join us.  Register at www.globalwomanpeacefoundation.org, select the pink “Register to Walk” button, and be a part of this memorable event.

 

The last 2 weeks we shared statements from F.A. Cole and Severina Lemachokoti.  Now, here is what Mariam Bojang had to say:  “Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation has been my second family since my encounter with the team. It’s my home away from home and the organization has crossed my path with some of the most wonderful young women who have turned out to be my very good sisters. Since being involved with the organization, it has served as my safe haven. It is one place I know I can voice out my opinion and let my voice be heard without fear.  It has served as a platform for so many young women to be at the forefront and leaders in the achievement of gender equality and women empowerment. In addition to this, they have and continue to give so many women around the world a second chance in life, stay with, and support them through their journey to growth and empowerment.  The organization also serves as a learning tool for me, its members, and the general public. It has broken so many barriers to women empowerment, and has made it possible for women and girls to receive the education they need to develop themselves, and be able to grow in their respective communities.  Being passionate about what the organization does and my interest in women empowerment, I definitely couldn’t have asked for a better family to be part of and work together to address some of the issues faced by women. Here’s to many more years of successes, to Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation.”
