Description
This is a toolkit for women in Liberia and Sierra Leone who live in communities where business activities have a large impact on the management of natural resources, land, human rights, and the risk of conflict. The toolkit is a cartoon that tells a story about Jebbeh and her concerns around land rights, women's rights, and how a new company might impact the environment, rights of women, and the risk of social conflict. The toolkit outlines Jebbeh's concerns about how the business will affect her and her community and what rights all women have. The toolkit also brings up the obstacles that Jebbeh and other women face when defending their rights and seeking redress. Lastly, it outlines which actions to take and where to turn if businesses adversely impact the environment, rights or contribute to social conflict.
