Episode Synopsis

We talk about bad roads, corruption, poor education systems, but how often do we name patriarchy as a root cause of Sierra Leone’s slow progress?In this powerful episode, lawyer and activist Nicky Spencer-Coker challenges us to rethink development through a gender lens. She argues that until we address gender-based oppression - at home, in schools, in parliament, in the court, we’ll continue building a nation that leaves half its population behind.#HonestlySpeakingSL #GenderJustice #PatriarchyAndProgress #SierraLeone #WomenInLeadership
