I fight so no girl experiences what I went through — African of the Year

Musu Bakoto Sawo, winner of the Daily Trust African of the Year award, began activism at the age of nine and has been championing the cause of the girl-child for 21 years. The 30-year-old, who holds an LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa, also teaches law at the University of Gambia. Pushed by her experiences as a victim of female genital mutilation (FGM), getting married at the age of 14 and becoming a widow at 21, Sawo has risen to become a leading voice in the fight against FGM, violence against women and early marriage for girls in The Gambia. Through the work of organisations like her Think Young Women, The Gambia banned FGM in 2015 and early marriage in 2016.
