Our Work
We work across five core program areas to empower young women and strengthen democratic governance in Sierra Leone.
Youth Political Participation
YWDF supports young women to engage meaningfully in elections, advocacy, and policy influencing. This includes electoral education, voter registration drives, and leadership training.
Gender Equality Advocacy
Through initiatives like the GEWE Act Awareness Campaign, YWDF promotes gender-responsive policies and strengthens implementation of the Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Act (2022).
Civic Education & Leadership Training
Regular training programs cover: Parliamentary processes, Digital advocacy tools, Feminist leadership, and Outcome mapping for advocacy planning.
Localisation of WPS & GEWE Agenda
In partnership with GNWP, YWDF brings peacebuilding and gender equality closer to grassroots communities through localised dialogues and awareness sessions.
PANTS Education Campaign
A nationwide campaign in partnership with Pure Matrimony to educate children about body safety and prevent sexual abuse.
