The following report aims to identify the root causes and consequences of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in Sierra Leone, and provide evidence that will form the basis for targeted policy recommendations to respond to and prevent this phenomenon.

The data drawn from this study further gives a better understanding of the correlation between Sexual and Gender-based Violence and Health, education, development, and other key sectors which reinforces the need for better inter-ministerial collaboration in ensuring an integrated multi-sectorial planning for addressing SGBV in Sierra Leone.
