As part of investments to strengthen The Gambia’s Gender-Based Violence response mechanism, UNFPA with funding from the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund supported the establishment of the Women and Girls’ Empowerment Centre dubbed ”The Orange Centre”. The centre is the country’s first fully integrated facility for the protection of girls and women.

On 22 June 2021, the UNFPA Country Representative Mr. Kunle Adeniyi was joined by Her Excellency the First Lady of The Gambia Madam Fatoumatta Bah-Barrow to inaugurate the space. This video shows highlights of the inauguration ceremony.
