NO AMENDMENT- IMPROVE THE SYSTEM TO PUNISH PERPETRATORS

Image
  Standing Up for Justice in Liberia As Liberia’s National Orphans Representative, I joined the Children’s Forum, women’s rights institutions, and other child advocacy groups in a peaceful protest calling for a non-bailable rape law and standing firmly against any amendment that would weaken it. With the alarming prevalence of rape and other forms of violence against women, girls, and children in Liberia, we make our position clear — we do not support the amendment of the rape law. We recommend: * Fixing the justice system. * Ensuring speedy trials. * Providing full protection for victims. * Establishing and making productive a fast-track court to adjudicate SGBV matters. For me, this is more than a protest — it’s a call to protect lives, uphold dignity, and secure justice for Liberia’s most vulnerable.

Children's Entreprenuership Workshop

 As National Orphans' Representative of the Liberia National Children Representative Forum, I was provided the opportunity to attend a One Day Entrepreneurship Workshop hosted by YONER Liberia in collaboration with the  Liberia National Children Representative Forum.  The Workshop focuses on how young people and children can foster themselves using the technologies available and entrepreneurship.  The presenter, Jarius Andrew Greaves, CEO, stressed the meaning of Entrepreneurship, its importance, and how we can join it with technology to avail for ourselves the just benefits.  My appreciation to Speaker Jutomue Doetein for this initiative.
