Des questions telles que la violence sexuelle et sexiste (VSG), la toxicomanie, les traumatismes, la stigmatisation et les mutilations g\u00e9nitales f\u00e9minines (MGF\/E) sont couramment entendues, mais dans quelle mesure sont-elles vraiment comprises ? De nombreuses personnes connaissent ces termes, mais ne comprennent pas toujours ce qu’ils signifient r\u00e9ellement ou le mal qu’ils causent dans la vie r\u00e9elle. Ces questions continuent d’augmenter et d’affecter de nombreuses personnes et familles, ce qui rend le besoin de sensibilisation encore plus crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C’est pourquoi le Conseil des \u00c9glises de Sierra Leone (CCSL), dans le cadre de son projet \u00ab\u00a0Strengthening Counselling and Care\u00a0\u00bb, a men\u00e9 une campagne de sensibilisation dans trois communaut\u00e9s, Tambiama, Mabonkani et Bumbuna, dans la r\u00e9gion septentrionale de la Sierra Leone. L’objectif n’\u00e9tait pas seulement d’informer, mais aussi d’engager les gens dans des conversations honn\u00eates et critiques sur ces pratiques et exp\u00e9riences pr\u00e9judiciables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’\u00e9quipe du CCSL a \u00e9t\u00e9 confront\u00e9e \u00e0 des situations r\u00e9v\u00e9latrices de pratiques et de croyances sociales profond\u00e9ment enracin\u00e9es. L’une des observations les plus frappantes a \u00e9t\u00e9 le niveau \u00e9lev\u00e9 de tol\u00e9rance \u00e0 l’\u00e9gard de la violence dans les relations amoureuses, m\u00eame chez les jeunes (adolescents). Ce comportement, souvent influenc\u00e9 par l’in\u00e9galit\u00e9 entre les sexes et une conception erron\u00e9e des r\u00f4les, est pr\u00e9occupant.
La conversation sur l’E\/MGF a \u00e9t\u00e9 intense, m\u00eame si certains h\u00e9sitaient \u00e0 en parler, mais certains participants ont reconnu que cette pratique causait des dommages irr\u00e9versibles, tant sur le plan physique qu’\u00e9motionnel. Ils ont reconnu que l’abandon de l’E\/MGF pourrait r\u00e9duire de mani\u00e8re significative la pauvret\u00e9, les complications sanitaires et les effets psychologiques \u00e0 long terme chez les femmes et les filles. Tous les participants ont reconnu que les familles et les communaut\u00e9s doivent prendre des d\u00e9cisions fortes et \u00e9clair\u00e9es pour dire \u00ab NON \u00bb aux MGF afin de pr\u00e9server l’avenir des filles et de prot\u00e9ger leurs droits et leur sant\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief Sorie Kamara of Mabonkani expressed gratitude to CCSL for bringing such vital information to his community. \u201cAs local leaders, our influence and support towards these kinds of interventions will send a strong signal to discouraging and eradicating harmful practices in society\u201d<\/em>, he emphasised.  His support, like that of other local leaders, is essential in shifting attitudes and protecting vulnerable individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The message from CCSL was clear; violence <\/strong>should never be normalized no matter how common it may seem. It is not a show of love but power \u2013 it is abuse. Communities must challenge long-held beliefs and start with self-reflection, especially in how individuals behave, speak, and relate to one another. Every person has a role to play in preventing violence and supporting victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Council of Churches in Sierra Leone continues to enhance the skills of its lay counsellors across the country and encourage all to seek counselling when needed. Too often, silence and shame keep survivors isolated. But healing begins when communities come together to support, not judge. CCSL\u2019s campaign showed that while people may know the terms, there is still much work to be done to truly understand and end these issues in society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
