The Advocacy Network for Girls Sierra Leone Parliament (ANGSLP) is proud to work in close partnership with Alimatu Dimonekene MBE, Founder and CEO of A Girl At A Time Sierra Leone, whose leadership and commitment to girls’ rights have strengthened our work and vision.
This partnership is grounded in shared values from the protection of girls’ dignity, to the promotion of youth leadership, and the belief that girls must be active participants in shaping policies and decisions that affect their lives.
Through her decades of advocacy, Madam Alimatu Dimonekene MBE has consistently championed survivor-centred, girl-led approaches to ending gender-based violence and harmful practices.
It is through our collaboration, ANGSLP has benefited from strategic guidance, mentorship, and increased visibility, particularly in strengthening youth-led advocacy, digital engagement, and policy-focused campaigning.
A Girl At A Time Sierra Leone has supported our efforts to amplify girls’ voices nationally and internationally, ensuring that the perspectives of young girls are not only heard, but taken seriously.
This partnership also reflects a broader commitment to supporting small, youth-led grassroots movements to grow, connect, and influence change. By working together, we are building bridges between local girl leaders and global advocacy spaces, while maintaining a strong focus on community-driven solutions in Sierra Leone.
ANGSLP values this partnership as one rooted in mutual respect, trust, and a shared determination to see a Sierra Leone where every girl is safe, educated, and empowered to lead.
As part of our ongoing work with Madam Alimatu Dimonekene MBE and A Girl At A Time Sierra Leone, ANGSLP has delivered targeted activities focused on confidence building, leadership development, and assertiveness in public life.
These sessions supported girls to understand their rights, speak clearly and confidently, and navigate public spaces with courage and self-belief.
Through practical exercises, discussions, and mentorship, girls were encouraged to challenge harmful norms, express their opinions respectfully, and see themselves as leaders capable of influencing decisions in their schools, communities, and national spaces.
Girls’ Participation in the Avaaz Campaign to End FGM
Girls’ Participation in the Avaaz Campaign to End FGM
Girls from the Advocacy Network for Girls Sierra Leone Parliament actively participated in the Avaaz campaign calling on the Government of Sierra Leone to ban Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) following the ECOWAS ruling.
Through this campaign, girls used their voices to stand in solidarity with survivors and to publicly demand an end to a harmful practice that violates their rights, health, and dignity.
Their participation was an important act of civic engagement, demonstrating confidence, courage, and a growing understanding of how collective action can influence national and international decision-making.
By taking part, the girls showed that they are not only beneficiaries of advocacy, but active contributors to movements for justice and protection.
Their involvement reflects ANGSLP’s commitment to nurturing informed, confident young advocates who are prepared to engage meaningfully in public life and policy change.
