In The Gambia, women have been out on the street protesting and holding banners that read Gambian Women's Lives Matter. They were demanding the right to safety in childbirth. Women with experiences of perilous labour were on the march, which was led by Mbama Care Foundation. Binta Senghore was one of the organisers. She told Audrey Brown about the challenges faced by Gambian women at the country's health facilities. (Photo: Gambian women's lives matter peaceful march. Credit: Aminata Sanyang)
