Our Approach

Women and girls who come into contact with the law are at the heart of everything we do.

We seek to use innovation and creativity in all we do.

We take a human rights based approach to access to justice. 

We use a systems change approach to our work, knowing that our advocacy and law reform work at a national level is crucial to achieve a truly gender responsive justice system.

We follow a legal empowerment approach to enable women and girls to know, understand, use and shape the law to advance their rights. 

We believe in a collaborative approach, knowing that we are more efficient, effective, and stronger together with our partners and networks nationally and internationally. 

We bring a holistic approach to justice supporting women with legal, social, physiological and educational and economic empowerment services.

We work with an unwavering commitment to legal and policy reform in Sierra Leone and supporting an international movement to end the over-incarceration of women and girls worldwide.
