We have a team of lawyers that are researching current laws on the book and are gathering proposed legislations to ensure that perpetrators of abuse are brought to justice. Our organization also advocates and ensures that laws of abuse are upheld and enforced. We are working with lawmakers to champion evidence-based abuse high risk response teams and more research into prevention and intervention programs in countries we are currently serving. Additionally, we are working with local governments to put in place initiatives to boost local economies and to make easier for victims to know they can support themselves when they leave an abusive relationship.

The legal system in Liberia is a mix of common law and customary law. The Constitution of Liberia (1996)1 is limited in its commitment to protect women and children. The constitution does not address violence against women and girls, harmful practices. Article 11 provides for (a) the fundamental right to ‘security of the person’ and (b) to equality regardless of gender. As one of her last acts in office before handing power to current President George Weah, former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf issued an executive order on domestic violence. While it is binding law, the Order will be in force for only one year. According to a 1974 ruling of the Liberia Supreme Court, presidential executive orders lapse after one year unless they are ratified by the legislature. https://www.loc.gov/item/global-legal-monitor/2018-01-31/liberia-temporary-ban-on-domestic-violence-including-female-genital-mutilation/
