On May 28th, 2026, WoME, in with support from CIVICUS launched a compelling video documentary examining the impact of the Cybersecurity and Crime Act of 2021, focusing on section 44. This documentary aims to document and analyze the impact of the Cybersecurity and Crime Act on citizens rights.

The launch event brought together community representatives, civil society organizations, media professionals, and government officials. It served as a platform to foster dialogue and mobilize unified advocacy efforts dedicated to advancing digital rights and freedom of expression in Sierra Leone. Through this initiative, we are working collaboratively with stakeholders to ensure that the digital environment remains open, inclusive, and respectful of fundamental human rights.

On this day April 15 2026, hundreds of women environmental defenders, community organisations, and their allies mobilised across the continent and beyond to mark the inaugural African Women’s Climate Justice Day, under the theme: “Our Lands, Our Voices: African Women United for Reparations and Climate Justice!”

This landmark Day of Action emerges at a critical moment. As the world faces escalating climate catastrophes, wars and resource-driven conflicts, deepening inequality, and widespread ecological destruction, African women who are among the most impacted led some of the most radical solutions. Their voices, leadership, and resistance are more vital than ever in the global fight for climate justice and reparations.

In commemoration of this day, Women on Mining and Extractives (WoME) in collaboration with the Women Alliance on Natural Resources Governance (WANRG) stood united across the nation to launch the African Women Climate Justice Day. From the diamond fields to the city streets, our message is resounding and clear: Climate justice is fundamentally a women’s rights issue!

Across four key districts, we took bold and impactful action to ensure women’s voices are at the heart of environmental protection:

-Kono District: We began with a powerful community engagement, bringing the conversation directly to the women who live and work on the front lines of natural resource management.

-Kenema District: Women mobilized on the ground for an outreach mission, raising vital awareness about how climate change impacts our livelihoods and empowering communities to take action.

-Bo District: We hosted a strategic stakeholder engagement that brought together local leaders and decision-makers, securing commitments to gender-sensitive climate policies.

-Freetown: Our national launch was a dynamic hub of advocacy! We were honoured to welcome the EPA, 50/50 Group, Amnesty International, Human Rights Commission, Human Rights Defenders Network, the Irish Embassy, with media and newspapers covering the event.

When women lead, the planet wins. We are far more than victims of climate change – we are leaders, innovators, and defenders of our land.

Together, we stand strong for climate justice and gender equality.

A GLIMPSE INTO SULIMA VILLAGE, PUJEHUN DISTRICT, SIERRA LEONE

WoME recently had the opportunity to visit the Sulima community, a coastal town in the far southeast of Sierra Leone, right on the border with Liberia. It is located where the Moa River meets the Atlantic Ocean, making it both important and naturally beautiful.

The community is led by a Chief who keeps peace, settles disputes, and ensures that people live together in harmony.

The people of Sulima mainly speak Mende and Liberian English. Because the town is surrounded by water, fishing and farming are the main activities that support their livelihoods and provide food.

In fishing, men usually go out at night, while women go to the seashore early in the morning to buy fresh fish. By midday, more fish are brought in. Women then fry or smoke the fish to preserve it. These fish are sold within the community, taken to nearby towns, and also transported to Liberia for trade.

In farming, although the soil is mostly sandy, farmers grow crops such as rice, cassava, palm trees, potatoes, plantains, cassava leaves, and potato leaves.

Women play an important role in Sulima. They support their families through farming, fishing, and trading. They also take care of their homes and contribute greatly to the well-being of the community.

Sulima is also believed to have natural resources, especially oil as offshore exploration has taken place in its Atlantic waters. If commercial production begins, it could bring economic opportunities, but also challenges related to oil development.

At present, Sulima faces several challenges. Access to clean drinking water is limited, and many homes do not have proper toilet facilities. There is also a shortage of materials like wood for cooking and building, which makes daily life more difficult.
