Advocaid Sierra Leone

AdvocAid works with vulnerable women and girls who are arrested, detained or tried within Sierra Leone’s criminal justice system. We provide holistic legal aid and rehabilitation services, including free legal advice and representation, formal and legal education, welfare, and post-detention support. As well as managing individual cases, we also deliver advocacy and law reform campaigns focused on wider issues impacting women and girls in the justice system, and we work closely with the police, judiciary, and correctional service to develop capacity within the justice sector and improve conditions for detainees and children incarcerated with their mothers.
