My goal is to raise awareness to the young in order for them to be Patriotic and take on responsibility for their country. From a young age, I've witnessed and experienced the impact of gender inequality in my community and beyond especially to women's and girls. Growing up as the only son in a family of four girls, I saw firsthand the unequal access to education, opportunities, and decision-making power faced by women and girls. This ignited a passion in me to fight for a more equitable world where everyone, regardless of gender, can thrive. My journey began at age 13, fueled by a burning desire to advocate for children's rights, particularly around gender issues. Despite initial doubts and financial constraints, my voice became my weapon, amplified by the lunch money my parents generously granted. This early conviction evolved into a lifelong mission to break down gender barriers and create a world where all young people, regardless of their gender, flourish.My involvement with the Children's Forum Network-Sierra Leone (CFN-SL) and other organizations fueled this passion. Through advocacy campaigns, community outreach, school sensitisation and media engagement, I've gained valuable experience in mobilizing young people and amplifying their voices on critical issues like gender-based violence, child marriage, and access to education for girls.
