Reverse on Female Ge***al Mutilation ban in Gambia? 🤔

Gambian MPs will debate a bill that seeks to reverse a ban on female ge***al mutilation (FGM).

FGM was criminalised in The Gambia in 2015, but some seek to overturn the ban, claiming it violates religious freedom and cultural practices.

WEP TRAINS WOMEN, YOUTH ON ORGANIC FERTILISER, BIO-GAS, MUSHROOM PRODUCTION TO FIGHT CLIMATE THREATS.

In a bid to combat the threats of climate change in Nigeria, Women Environmental Programme (WEP) has held series of hands-on trainings for women and youths in Benue State on practical home production of organic fertilizer, bio-gas and mushroom.

The trainings supported by Christian Aid, included how to use leaves and seeds from the Neem Tree (Azardirachta Indica) also known as Dogoyaro to produce organic manure. The training also included the step-by-step process of production of Bio Gas as energy to lessen pressure on felling of trees for firewood and charcoal common in many communities as well as how to grow mushrooms for food in homes and for wealth creation for individuals and families.

Addressing participants during the two-day training which held at Apir Area of Makurdi, the State Capital, Deputy Executive Director of WEP, Mr. John Baaki encouraged participants to use organic materials to farm and avoid the use of inorganic fertilisers, herbicides and pesticide to grow crops due to their harmful end products.

On his part, a consultant, Andy Kene who took participants through the step-by-step production of biogas also taught them how to produce the Digester which is used for the production of bio gas.

He explained that production of the Digester requires plastic drums, 4-inches pipe, 3 inches Elbow, funnel, PVC gum, plumbing materials, super glue, half inch control, half inch Elbow, plier, 4-inches iron pipe among other items.

Kene listed cow and pig dungs, water hyacinth as well as waste food as part of the raw materials which could be fed into the digester to produce biogas. He however cautioned against adding of salt or detergents which said destroy the bacteria required to breakdown the wastes in the process of conversion to biogas.

Various male and female participants who displayed keen interest from their incisive questions in the course of the training expressed gratitude to the organisers for bringing such wealth of knowledge to their doorstep.

The WEP-implemented Action to Combat Climate Threats (ACCT) is a Christian Aid-supported project taking place in Benue, Nassarawa and Kaduna States in Nigeria with such objectives as promoting climate-smart agriculture among small holder farmers and other vulnerable groups in local communities in 2026 and improving access to clean and sustainable energy for women and other vulnerable groups in local communities come 2026.

Other objectives of the ACCT in Nigeria project are to build the capacity of women groups and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Nigeria to advocate for increased investment in climate change adaptation actions by relevant government agencies, as well as build a movement of climate justice advocates that project the voices of the vulnerable to ensure justice in national, regional and global climate actions.

"GUARDIAN OF THE GOLDEN GATE"

Kevin Briggs is a former California highway patrol officer who has stopped more than 200 people from committing su***de on the Golden Gate Bridge.

When Briggs finds a suicidal individual, he usually starts a conversation with them by asking how they are doing, then asking their plans for the following day.

If they did not have plans for the next day, he attempts to make plans with them, inviting them to come back to the bridge if their plan did not work out at the end of the day.

The image below is from 2005 when Briggs spent 60 minutes convincing Kevin Berthia to climb back over a rail on the bridge. Berthia went on to marry and have multiple children.

Briggs has earned the nickname ‘Guardian of the Golden Gate’ for having saved the lives of over 200 people.
