Sexual and Gender-Based Violence is a violation of human rights.
Too many women, girls—and increasingly, boys and men—suffer in silence due to stigma, fear, or lack of justice.
Sierra Leone has strong laws in place, like the Domestic Violence Act (2007) and the Sexual Offences Act (2012, amended 2019), and a special court was created under the 2019 State of Emergency on R**e. But laws alone are not enough.
We need stronger enforcement, survivor support systems, and community action to break the cycle of violence.
💜 Speak out.
👥 Support survivors.
⚖️ Demand justice.
Together, we can build a safer, more just society for all.
