Sierra Leone: Recovering From a Decade of Civil War

See snapshots of how Sierra Leone is recovering from a brutal civil war that ended in 2002—a war that left 50,000 people dead and displaced 2 million, nearly half of its population. Most of the combatants were children and young people. The Women’s Commission traveled to Sierra Leone in February 2008 as part of its three-year global research and advocacy project for displaced out-of-school youth.
