In 2019, a group of seven women activists formed the Women’s Association for Women and Victims’ Empowerment (WAVE-Gambia). These women have been involved from the outset in the transitional justice process in The Gambia, with four of the women themselves being direct victims of human rights violations.
During the regime of former President Yahya Jammeh, women victims were subjected to many acts of human rights violations and abuses. In this present day, many bear the brunt of those violations, yet continue to suffer in silence. They are in need for interventions to address their plight.
WAVE’s work in the area of transitional justice is to promote and support the participation of women to become agents of change in matters of importance to them and in their journey for healing, reconciliation, reparations, accountability and justice. There also exists a real need to address aspects relating to gender equality, women’s empowerment and promotion of the rights and freedoms of women and girls for the advancement of peace, development as well as realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Our programs are designed to create sustainable change by addressing community needs, empowering individuals, long-term development through education.
