How to get closer to equality in Sierra Leone There have been active efforts by the UN to fund projects that benefit the women of Sierra Leone and their basic needs. This is very helpful for these women but Feminists across the world believe that this is not they way to achieve equality for these women. They believe that the most important thing is to empower women. The reason why making women feel empowered is so crucial is because these women will be able to challenge the patriarchy and social roles of their country
