Thank you
Exactly, Sir. @jmarah_arnold1 Can you imagine a bill that was meant to protect our children was hijacked by adults mostly women whose sole purpose in Parliament seems to be defending Soweis (traditional cutters). Imagine this - It’s as if paedophiles had a lobby in Parliament

It’s 2025 in Sierra Leone and we are failing our children!

Where unchecked nepotism exists, corruption often follows. Salient Points by @sierraeyesalone and I'll add this: The problem with nepotism is that it prevents the government from seeking out and attracting the best talent. We have made nepotism part of our culture, but it is
Principles Over Personalities in Sierra Leone’s Civic Renewal @sierraeyesalone condemns racism in all its forms. Our home city, #Freetown, was founded as a refuge from racial injustice, so we must remain a beacon of shared humanity and respect for diverse voices. The debate

President Bio spoke at the UN about protecting women & girls, yet signed a Child Rights Act with no FGM ban. Calling mutilation “culture” is hypocrisy. FGM is violence, not heritage. #NotInMyName #EndFGM #SierraLeone #JusticeForGirls
A Grave Disappointment - Sierra Leone’s Child Rights Act Is a Hollow Victory for Girls On October 14, 2025, a day after the International Day of the Girl Child, #InternationalDayOfTheGirl, #SierraLeone's Solicitor General, Robert Kowa, announced that President @julius_maadabio

ICYMI: On July 8, 2025, the #ECOWAS Court ruled FGM is “one of the worst forms of violence against women” and found #SierraLeone violated #humanrights by not banning it. A powerful win for survivor Kadija, @ForumHarmful & @Purposeful_org. Proud to have represented them. #EndFGM

In this my OpEd, I reflect on how a visit to @Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary in 2018 rescued my own sense of hope after working with young survivors of sexual violence and why its imminent closure over land encroachment should alarm us all. https://t.co/iMtP7JpOiu

Sierra Leone cannot credibly claim to protect children when it allows their mutilation to continue legally and politically. The future of this country lies in the wellbeing of its children. Parliament’s action sends the opposite message that girls’ lives and bodies as pawns.
The Child Rights Act and Separation of Powers Last week, Parliament passed the long-awaited Child Rights Bill. It is yet to become law as the President has not yet assented the same. Despite many good provisions in the law, one of female genital cutting has ignited a storm of

We stand with @MichaelBasita. It’s shameful that MPs are blocking a bill to protect children just because it names FGM. Our girls deserve safety, not silence. Pass the Child Rights Act now. @ILRAJ2 #EndFGM #PassTheChildRightsBill #ProtectOurGirls
🇸🇱 Sierra Leone’s children deserve safety! @ILRAJ2 CEO @MichaelBasita urges Parliament to pass the Child Rights Act, 2024! Protect our children from abuse, child marriage, & FGM. Reinstate protections against harmful practices for a safer future. 🇸🇱 #ChildRightsAct2024 #EndFGM

📢🌍 Violence against women & girls is a global crisis. Today, we unite across the world in the urgency of #16DaysOfActivism. There is #NoExcuse for any form of violence that denies us the right to live in freedom, not fear.

(6) Sierra Leone can never achieve its true potential while FGM remains legal and our First Lady is openly supporting those who want this horrific act to continue.

The Child Rights Act 2024, is transforming Sierra Leone legislation for the fundamental rights of our children to live in safety & dignity, where their bodies are fully their own & where they can live in the full freedom to thrive. #EndViolenceAgainstGirls

📢 We refuse to remain silent in the face of any action that will undermine the safety of our children. We have outlawed child marriage, we have forged the path for radical inclusion in school. PASS THIS ACT!! #EndViolenceAgainstGirls
Our position statement on the Child Rights Act, assumes the unwavering support of Parliamentarians to protect the health & future of our children. Read our statement here👇🏾 https://t.co/Dr9H1iBcPI
