In her words, “This recognition is for all the young girls and women I have worked with and for the women and girls I continue to inspire. My appreciation to my team and the City of Banjul for their continuous trust in my leadership.”

As the head of the municipality of the city of Banjul, The Gambia, Rohey Malick Lowe is intensely involved in actions in favor of the development of her local authority. In particular, she has made the question of gender her main battleground.
