It added that the WSR-SL’s position is “ZERO tolerance to all forms of intimidation and violence including tribalism and hate speech especially during elections”.

The WSR-SL condemns this behaviour in the strongest terms and we call on the APC and SLPP presidential candidates and their supporters to refrain from inciting and supporting all forms of violence in their quest for leadership.

We want to remind all that Sierra Leone’s democracy is still young and the slightest mistake could ruin all efforts being made to consolidate our development.

The Call Centre of the Women’s Situation Room is still open and we encourage the general public to continue calling our Toll Free number 977 and report any threat or incidence of violence for our immediate intervention.
