in which women politicians in Sierra Leone talked about the violence and intimidation that they brave on a regular basis. Choat writes:
Cole and Aki-Sawyerr have paid a high price for speaking out. The Unity party has been barred from the elections for not following protocol in polls – an allegation that Cole disputes. “I’ve been blacklisted,” she says. “The last time I was at a meeting, the deputy minister of justice looked at me and asked ‘Why is she still here?’ They thought they had got rid of me.”Catherine Zainab Tarawally, an opposition MP from the north, says she is often told to “get back in the kitchen”.
Another MP, Emilia Lolloh Tongi, became the first woman to stand as an independent in the 2018 election…Tongi was warned that politics was “bloody and violent” and during her campaign, her house was attacked and she was threatened daily by supporters of rival candidates. But when she beat the two main parties to win her seat the abuse turned to admiration – especially after her rousing maiden speech.
