Grateful for the opportunity to participate in the ECOWAS Human Rights Course at KAIPTC, Ghana. An enriching experience with colleagues from NHRIs across Africa, united by shared human rights challenges and a common commitment to protecting and promoting the rights of all.
The Emerging Public Leaders Alumni Gathering in Monrovia showcased how investing in young professionals is strengthening public service across Africa. Proud that Sierra Leone is part of this growing initiative. #EmergingPublicLeaders#PublicService
In celebrating #IWD2024 I delivered a keynote address at a community engagement with women by the Girls Empowerment Network Sierra Leone in Kissi Town, Waterloo. The focus was on gains made over the years in women’s empowerment & laws protecting women and girls. #InspireInclusion
SLAWIJ participated in a Round Table Discussion on Post-Election Dialogue with Civil Society Organisations and Media Institutions. The event was organised by the @SocietyLeone (SDI).

I am delighted to serve as a Board Member of @RainboInitiativ for the next couple of years. The goal is to contribute to the good work of #RI to respond and prevent #SGBV in Sierra Leone. @SLAWIJ20@BocKhawa
It was a honor to be part of this high level panel to discuss Women in the News Industry: Challenges and Opportunities. SLAWIJ is grateful to @InternewsJeanne@IWMF and Secretary’s Office for Global Women’s Issues.
I had the opportunity to talk to female newsroom leaders from Liberia on Ethical Standards for Quality Journalism and Newsroom Structure. We have common challenges but Sierra Leone has made more progress in getting women journalists at the top. @FeJAL
Today, I met with Prof. Miriam Conteh-Morgan the first female Deputy Vice-Chancellor of #IPAM, University of SL. I took away many goodies from our conversation. We spoke about her vision for the new role, the #GEWEAct2022, balancing professional life and family, and many more.
Awareness raising, engagement and dialogue are key to ending gender-based violence. We will continue on this path until the change we want to see happen.
Gender-based violence issues requires consistent engagement. Tomorrow our Executive President @MimiKargbo will be speaking to young people and stakeholders on #SGBV.
We are raising our voices during this 16 Days of Activism to talk about online violence. It's threatening, and has the potential to limit women's participation online.
16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence begins today. In our recent 'Threats Against Public Facing Women Report 2022,' 64% of women journalists and activists said they have experienced at least one form of threat and/or violence against them.@UNWOMEN_SL
