Mohamed Konneh is a media right activists and growing up he saw women suffering both in their community and their family. Living in an unequal world, this puts women in a disadvantaged position. We could make the world a better place if women are allowed to realize their full potential.

Several research shows Police still have difficulties pursuing SGBV crimes. Court sessions are conducted in English, which along with high illiteracy rates presents a significant language barrier.
