Can a nation truly heal from decades of systemic abuse? Join us as we expose the harrowing findings of the Truth, Reconciliation, and Reparations Commission (TRRC) about the rampant sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) committed under former President Yahya Jammeh's regime. We uncover how national beauty pageants and the Presidential Alternative Treatment Program (PATP) served as sinister fronts for horrific abuses. Hear the stories of survival from victims who endured mistreatment not only at the hands of the former president but also through terrifying witch hunt exercises designed to punish dissenting communities.
This episode doesn't just recount atrocities; it lays out a pathway to justice and reform. We discuss the TRRC's bold recommendations, including prosecuting Yahya Jammeh and his high-ranking accomplices, enforcing strict sexual abuse policies, and implementing comprehensive training for law enforcement and healthcare workers. Learn about the steps the Gambian government is taking to end the stigma and protect victims' rights, ensuring that such heinous acts are never repeated. Listen in to understand the scope of these crimes and the urgent need for systemic change in The Gambia from 1994 to 2016.
