We are happy to unveil the official emblem of the Edward Francis Small Centre for Rights and Justice (EFSCRJ).
Our emblem bears the title of Edward Francis Small in whose honour the group is known as. We are impressed by the nice work and legacy of EF Small which we want to proceed. Small was a human rights activist, a journalist, a commerce unionist and a pro-democracy advocate who defended the civil liberties of our individuals. He stood up towards the colonial system and demanded that Gambians have the proper to be represented in determination making establishments. His slogan ‘No taxation without representation’ is as immutable and related at present as when it was stated in 1920.
Our motto is ‘Freedom, Equality, Transparency and Accountability’.
We imagine that as a Republic, The Gambia belongs to all her individuals in whom sovereign energy resides and, in whose title, energy is exercised by all of the three arms of Government. The individuals have civil, political, financial, social and cultural rights assured by the 1997 Constitution and different ratified regional and worldwide authorized devices.
We maintain that human rights are inherent or inalienable, and the State has the obligations to respect, shield and fulfil these rights. For human rights to be significant, there ought to be transparency and accountability within the administration of public affairs and public sources by the establishments and officers mandated by legislation to carry out these features.
The “leaves” across the emblem depict peace and unity.
We imagine that the Gambia is one nation whose peace and unity are derived from and are strengthened by the differences of her individuals, of their cultures, religions, beliefs, languages, ethnicities, and different types of variations. Each of those variations is an asset that we should harness for peace, progress and prosperity as enshrined within the nationwide motto.
The ‘community’ within the centre depicts our residents. We search to construct and strengthen an lively citizenry who’re keen and capable of demand their citizenship rights and carry out their duties as enshrined within the Constitution, actively take part in nationwide affairs, respect the rights of one another, and maintain responsibility bearers accountable. Ultimately, we maintain that the constructing of democracy and strengthening of excellent governance which is able to produce sustainable growth rests squarely within the arms of an knowledgeable, organized and empowered citizenry.
The “Circle”, comprising the lively citizenry, is our society. We acknowledge that for The Gambia to be a democratic republic, anchored on good governance, the rule of legislation, due course of, accountability and transparency, each citizen should play his or her function adequately, rigorously and with zero tolerance for corruption, nepotism, discrimination and injustice.
We think about the blue color within the emblem to characterize freedom and safety, whereas the yellow color represents rights and justice. The total white background depicts peace and stability.
By our emblem, we mirror and show our imaginative and prescient and mission for the Gambia which we’re decided to meet. We are additionally keen and able to be held accountable for the work we got down to do.
