FUSLA envisions a Sierra Leone which can guarantee equal rights and access to resources and power in ways that everyone can realize their human dignity and potential regardless of sex, status or geography
We believe that everyone, both men and women should have equal rights and opportunities to thrive and therefore must be accorded.
Today, more than ever, women remain systematically disadvantaged vis-à-vis men. The marginalization of feminists and their political agendas continue to undermine the feminist agenda in Sierra Leone.
The pandemic has already intensified physical and sexual violence against women, according to the 2019 SLDHS, an estimated 62 percent of women age 15–49 report having experienced physical or sexual violence.
Feminists United Sierra Leone and Allies (FUSLA) is a social movement of young Sierra Leoneans with the collective goal of inspiring equality. We aim to achieve a society that makes gender equality and empowerment central. The movement consists of social change actors who recognize the vast gender inequality in Sierra Leone. As a revolutionary movement, FUSLA has sparked conversations around feminism in Sierra Leone through social-media sensitizations highlighting sexism and its enduring hindrance to equality. Psychosocial support and mental health awareness are integral to our work and we seek to target community stakeholders as well as parents in relation to Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV). We also aim to create a safe platform for victims to freely speak up and share their experiences within communities in the Western Area of Sierra Leone. We believe that every both men and woman should have equal rights and opportunities to thrive and therefore must be accorded.
We seek to demystify myths around feminism and expose oppressive patriarchal systems that suppress women’s aspirations to be.
