The Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) North America Women’s Council is set to host their second annual conference on the 23rd of September 2023, at the Royal Ambassador Banquet Hall, on 2863 Woodbridge Avenue, Edison. NJ 08837.
The First Lady of the Republic of Sierra Leone 🇸🇱, H E Dr. Mrs. Fatima Maada Bio will be the Keynote Speaker. She will speak on the theme, “Gender Equality and Women Empowerment”. The SLPP National Women’s Leader, Mdm Hawa Foray, the Minister of Gender, Dr Isata Mahoi, other Party and Government Officials have consented to be at this conference, in New Jersey, USA.
The SLPPNA Regional Women’s Leader, Mrs. Aminata Amara, informed this writer that committees have been put in place to ensure a very successful conference. She added that a victory dance at night will crown the day, where the President of Sierra Leone, His Excellency, Rtd., Brigadier Julius Maada Bio and his wife, Dr. Mrs. Fatima Maada Bio will grace the occasion, with a host of government officials, diplomats, community leaders, and friends of Sierra Leone.
The conference desires to buttress the aims and objectives of His Excellency, President Julius Maada Bio’s agenda for Gender Equality and Women Empowerment, (GEWE bill 2021). Gender equality can only happen with the policies and legislation that have been adopted to be enforced at all government levels for the empowerment of women and girls. Gender-sensitive policies already established can help narrow the overwhelming gender gaps that already exists. Girls and especially Women are more than ready to act and the time for us to act is right now!
