A huge thank you to all the women leaders, ministers, ambassadors & activists & to all the #heforshe allies who relentlessly carry this struggle forward. Your voices, your commitment, and your strength are bringing us closer to an Africa free from violence against women & girls

And today, nearly two months after the publication of the official version, two more countries have joined this commitment: • The Republic of The Gambia 🇬🇲 • The Democratic Republic of the 🇨🇩 Thank you to these Member States for their commitment and feminist solidarity.
