Our efforts to end girl child female genital mutilation through community sensitisation and the enactment of legislation continues unabated #EndFGM #SierraLeone @AmnetAdvocacy

@tonkolili @TheOnion @Ladyfatimabio Sadly the story was no joke. It highlights how laws that were primarily meant to protect women are being misused to persecute them. Very unfortunate.

Move over @TheOnion there’s a new satirical publication in town. “Found guilty of abandoning her homemaking duties, stressing her husband and making him unhappy.” Great comic writing. How we laughed. Wait, it’s true! In #SierraLeone in 2018. @Ladyfatimabio awoko.org/2018/11/13/sie…

Dr Yumkella met with a bore hole and slab expert in the north east region and to see how he can help rebuild the lives of the people in those remote communities with toilets facilities and some bore hole for clean drinking water as he believes water is life. #SierraLeone

@KofiAnnan was a virtue of selfless humanity who epitomized competent global leadership, #humanrights & #peacebuilding. We will remember the 1st @UN Secretary General from #Subsaharan #Africa for his tireless efforts to end the conflict in #SierraLeone and get justice for victims

In many severely divided nations, ethnicity finds its way into a myriad of development issues, including land tenure. #IamaSierraLeonean my piece on ethnicity and nationalism in #SierraLeone thesierraleonetelegraph.com/i-am-a-sierra-… @tonkolili @atejancole @igc_sierraleone @ARASHIDTHOMAS

This isn’t just a political party issue it is scl & cultural, speaking to the very fabric of our sty. A sty very loyal to the centering, enhancing and progression of, middle-aged and young, men. This prioritization is what I like to refer to as  patriarchy unchecked #SierraLeone

I found a range of differences. For eg, the results show that in #Mozambique, one of the poorest countries on the continent, women participated more than men. The gender gap is also smaller in #SierraLeone than it is #Liberia theconversation.com/african-women-…

We wholeheartedly and in the strongest possible terms condemn the verbal and physical attack on @yakisawyerr Mayor of #Freetown #SierraLeone. Yesterday's attack is but another example of the immense challenge women in general and those involved in politics continue to face.
