ABOUT WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION FOR WOMEN & VICTIMS’ EMPOWERMENT
Women’s Association for Women & Victims’ Empowerment (WAVE-Gambia) began by supporting and empowering victims in The Gambia’s transitional justice process. We have since expanded our mission to advocate for the rights of women & girls, victims, and psychological/trauma support, particularly for the women and victims in remote areas. WAVE is committed to activism, and awareness raising, embracing an intersectional approach to combat gender inequality and foster accountability in The Gambia. WAVE is also involved in gender-focused research, strategic litigation and have developed various knowledge resources. While being unique in our approach, we employ arts-based programs to facilitate trauma healing for human rights violation survivors.
