LOOKING BACK AT 2021/2022

These years 2021/2022, i want to look back at the focus of my energy which has not only been working as an activist but exploring and working on new thematic areas such as in WASH and now the Blue Economy with GOAL SL. I have also been involved into work around  Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery.

I worked on a short documentary called SEEKERS with colleagues from the WeOwn TV, University of Hull, Wilberforce Institute and the Antislavery Knowledge Network. The goal was to use real voices of victims of trafficking to share their experiences on the deceit, pains and horror of their journeys. The overall Goal was to shine light on these inhuman practices, influence and raise national and international interests and provoke a cross discussion on the issue with a view to pushing states to take national and international actions to address the menace.

I also had the opportunity to take part in a Scoping Study by The Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre (Modern Slavery PEC), with the theme "Assessing the case for a Global Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking". According to the information shared with me this study has been funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).

I have also been involved in working on disability issues in the year, with support to the National Commission for Persons with Disability and an active member in the establishment of a coordination body, The National Consortium for the Enhancement of Persons with Disability  (NaCEPeD).

I was appointed as the Sierra Leone Country Representative for CBR Africa.

I am delighted to share these achievements and looking forward to doing more in this area. I am also finalizing the registration of CHREAT.
