CONT

En Sierra Leone, de nombreuses filles et jeunes femmes ont été stigmatisées et étiquetées comme des rebelles une fois rentrées dans leur communauté après avoir quitté le Front révolutionnaire uni; rares sont celles qui ont bénéficié de services d'aide et de thérapie pour surmonter l'expérience des mariages de brousse ou les séquelles des violences sexuelles ou d'autres formes de violence subies.
