Women’s rights advocates say they are tired speaking as there seems to be no tangible actions from major stakeholders. “It is no longer words but actions,” they say—actions from national duty bearers that will ensure that women are given the safe haven they deserve. The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection recorded a whopping 2025 SGBV cases from January to September this year. In its 2019 first quarter (January-March) SGBV statistics, the ministry disclosed that there were over 700 reported SGBV cases across the country during the period under review. Members of the network include Kvinna Til Kvinna (KTK), ActionAid, Medica Liberia, Plan International, International Rescue Committee and OXFAM.
