A Guide to Your Rights: Fundamental Rights and Freedoms in Sierra Leone

This booklet is a practical guide to understanding and claiming human rights in Sierra Leone. While the Constitution guarantees these rights, many citizens struggle to enforce them due to limited awareness or access to information. Developed by the Centre for Human Rights and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung’s Rule of Law Program for Sub-Saharan Africa, the booklet aims to bridge this gap by explaining the meaning, origin, and importance of human rights in a clear and accessible way. By making rights more understandable and actionable, the initiative contributes to strengthening the rule of law and promoting dignity and freedom across the region.
