Who We Are
About 50/50 Group
The 50/50 Group of Sierra Leone is a non-governmental organization founded in 2001. The Group is a non-partisan, primarily woman-led and focused organisation that has spent over 20 years advocating for and working toward gender parity in politics and other areas of society; much-needed changes in policies and legislation to promote all aspects of women’s socio-economic and political empowerment; and women’s increased participation in all decision-making positions, processes and initiatives in Sierra Leone.
The 50/50 Group welcomes individuals, institutions, and partners committed to promoting equality, strengthening civic engagement, and empowering women across all sectors. Your involvement, whether through advocacy, partnership, or support, contributes to building a more just and representative society.
