Across Borders, Advancing Justice

The Transnational Movement to End FGM

In 2025, a survivor took Sierra Leone’s government to court for failing to protect girls from FGM. She won. The ECOWAS Community Court found the state’s failure meets the threshold for torture.

Across Borders, Advancing Justice traces the long road to that victory, the movement that made it possible, and the battles still being fought across West Africa. From Sierra Leone’s landmark ECOWAS case to The Gambia’s fight to defend its FGM ban, and from legal reform in Nigeria to community-led change in Senegal and Liberia, the publication documents what happens when survivors, feminist activists, lawyers, grassroots organisers and communities build movement power to end FGM.
