Securing a Brighter Future for Women and Girls in Sierra Leone through Peace and Stability

In Sierra Leone, President Bio and First Lady Dr. Fatima Maada Bio are fighting hard for women and girls’ rights. They’ve started powerful campaigns like Hands Off Our Girls to protect them and help them succeed. But, keeping the country peaceful is crucial. When there’s no peace, women and girls suffer the most, facing dangers and missing out on education.

First Lady Bio is urging everyone to help keep Sierra Leone safe. This effort is key to letting women and girls live their dreams. She’s confident that with peace, every girl can learn, lead, and live without fear. It’s a big dream, but together, Sierra Leone is on its way to making it real, showing everyone the power of protecting and lifting up our girls.
