A New Dawn for Girls: Sierra Leone’s Bold Step Against Child Marriage
Sierra Leone’s recent legislative stride, the Prohibition of Child Marriage Bill 2024, marks a significant milestone in the global fight
Raising Women Initiative (RWI) is a non-profit organization that has, over the last 6 years, implemented programs that inspire, empower and advocate for greater representation of women and girls in all sectors. We work with key stakeholders to challenge the status quo on gender mainstreaming, equality and the rights of women and girls.
At RWI, we believe that women and girls must be given opportunities to be heard, seen, and empowered to influence decision-making processes and contribute fully to the development and prosperity of their communities and the world at large.
Vision: To create a world where women and girls are truly free
Mission: Change the ideology of key stakeholders relevant to the growth of women and girls through research, advocacy, and policy change.
