It's summer, once again, which means I'm packing my bags, leaving law school behind, and taking a very long series of flights to Africa. As most of you know, I began working with the Centre for Safe Motherhood, Youth, and Child Outreach (CESMYCO) during the Leitner Human Rights Clinic this semester. Our project focused on anti-FGM advocacy in the Kambia District, specifically the use of community by-laws to eliminate the practice. I will be working with CESMYCO this summer to continue drafting and advocating for such laws, as well as using community efforts for advocacy at the national level.
I make no promises as to my consistency with updating this, but I'll try to check in every week or so. Until then, check out Sierra Leone and the Leitner Center.
