It’s not about competition with men; it’s about working together to move Sierra Leone forward in a very positive way - Barbara Bangura

I’d like to remind the president that this is elections year, and we think he needs to make sure his MPs support his promises and that we have the gender equality bill (enacted) into law before the elections

They (men) say such a rule does not allow people to freely choose who they want to represent them and infringes on people’s basic human rights.

The idea is for political parties to ensure that those seats that are reserved for women are winnable seats, but the men are saying that such a policy is undemocratic,”
