Equality for Rights (E4R) is an independent, non-political
and non-discriminatory equality-driven organization registered with the
Ministry of Social Welfare, Gender and Children's Affairs of Sierra Leone. E4R
works with partners to ensure equality, tolerance, and respect for people who
suffer from social exclusion.
The organization was born out of the desire of frontline sexual
minority activists who strongly believe there is dignity in mankind regardless
of race, age, sexual orientation or language.
As an agency, we are committed towards:
- Enhancing tolerance regardless of sexual orientation
- Recognizing and protecting the equality and rights of
LGBTIs
- Responding to the increased discrimination and
marginalization of sexual minorities in health programs such as HIV/AIDS
prevention program
- Raising the profile of LGBTI issues as human
rights.
- Giving voices to the often-unheard survivors of
discrimination and violence to speak up and be heard.
- Working with partners and policy stakeholders to
overcome the dilemma of social exclusion on the sexual orientation.
