Sierra Leone: SLPP to Offer Free Symbols to Women, Youth, Disabled

National women's leader for the Sierra Leone Peoples Party SLPP, Isata Jabbie-Kabbah, has yesterday disclosed that the party will offer free symbols to women, youths and people with disabilities in a bid to assist grassroots women that lack the money to participate in national politics as the party now has a gender policy that has been adopted during its last national executive conference.

"Money will not be the matter but capability," she said adding that they have held a confab over the weekend to sensitize women, particularly Members of Parliament, councilors and other aspirants. "I am calling on all other political parties to do the same for women not to pay for symbols," she urged.
