In Sierra Leone, UN Women is recognized in the country as an expert in advancing the implementation of gender related global norms and standards through strengthening the national gender machineries (working with the Ministry of Gender and Children’s Affairs), the parliament, the justice mechanisms (the Judiciary, Ministry of Justice); the police, the military as well as with traditional leadership institutions.
Partnership with traditional leadership mechanisms particularly with all categories of the institution of chiefs and religious leaders has brought into focus the critical role in play in addressing harmful traditional practices to supporting the protection of the rights of women in a transformative gender perspective. UN Women’s portfolio in Sierra Leone is inclusive of the following flagship programmes: Women’s Leadership in governance and political participation; Ending Violence Against Women; Women in Peace, Security & Humanitarian Action; Women’s Economic empowerment.
