''My'' little girl from Sierra Leone, which I hope will get a better life in this poor country, with some help from me.
One of the world's poorest countries, with a decade-long civil war.
The conflict was officially declared over in January 2002. An estimated 50.000 people were killed.
During the war in Sierra Leone (1991-2002) thousands of girls and women were abducted by the various rebel movements. For most was rape, kidnapping, forced labor and forced marriages a part of the war experience.
For the women of Sierra Leone it's not a closed chapter. They need care and access to legal aid, employment, education and economic opportunities to help them rebuild their lives again.
