Inspite of govt commitments in Sierra Leone, safe houses for women & girls is still a dream

Gladys Brima, from Women Partnership for Justice and Peace, talks about the value of SCR 1820 in a post-war country like Sierra Leone.

To find out more about the situation of women in Sierra Leone, both during the war and after the cessation of hostilities, go to http://www.peacewomen.org/resources/Sierra_Leone/sierraleoneindex.html

IWTC, in partnership with women’s rights and community organizations in Sierra Leone, has produced a set of radio dramas that weaves information about international and regional legal mechanisms (SCR 1325 and the African Protocol, for example) into stories on education, political participation and violence against women. These stories are drawn from the experiences of women and each program is available in Krio, Themne and Mende. To listen to the programs, go to: http://www.iwtc.org/2983/9515.html
