Update of Liberia’s National Advocacy Strategy TOR

1. Introduction

The Feminist Alliance (FA), an alliance of six organizations in Sierra Leone and Liberia, implements the regional program “Concerted action for zero tolerance against SGBV in the Mano River Region” funded by the BMZ and supported by medica mondiale. The partner organizations are in Liberia – medica Liberia (mL), Aiding Disadvantaged and Traumatized Women and Girls (ADWANGA) and Rising Youth Mentorship Initiative (RYMI); in Sierra Leone – Women Against Violence and Exploitation in Society (WAVES), Girl2Girl Empowerment Movement (G2G) and Choices and Voices Foundation for Women and Girls (CVF).

The regional program aims to contribute to women and girls in the Mano River Region being able to live in an inclusive society, in dignity, and free from sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and discrimination. Specifically, the program seeks to mainstream the rights, needs, and perspectives of women and girls affected by SGBV into social, institutional, and policy responses to prevent and respond to SGBV at national and regional levels, reducing tolerance towards SGBV and at introducing a survivor- centered stress- and trauma-sensitive support for survivors.
