OUR VISION 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
The core of our strength is to address the issue of sexism from the basis of societal foundation by ensuring that Feminism is well understood in a way that people can identify with and take collective action towards achieving gender equality.
We seek to tap from our young and strong membership base in strengthening collectivity that will lead to the desired change. We also rely on partnership and support from like-minded movements through networking and regular collaboration of goals.
We collaboratively leverage our access, power, social media, and relationships to strategically influence policy and practice. We aim to advance feminist agendas through our work with policymakers, funders, and activists in Sierra Leone. We also work to influence feminist and women’s allies movements to strengthen our collective power and influence.
We seek to challenge, reform and rebrand perceptions which stem from the foundation of cultural, social and academic socialization processes. We seek to build allies with key agents of our socialization processes including the home and school to achieve the consciousness and collective drive which will eliminate patriarchy, sexism and systems of oppressions
We leverage on our convening power forming radical allies with like-minded movements to consolidate ideas and the feminism agenda in Sierra Leone and beyond.
We bring voices and efforts together that gear towards the common purpose of popularizing the feminism conversation by establishing what Feminism is and is not.
