COME, I’LL SHOW YOU

A WOMAN BETWEEN FAMILY AND CAREER

The roles are clear: Joe works in the office, Haja takes care of the household and their son. For Haja, though, this isn’t enough. She was educated, and now she wants to work. When she applies for a job against the wishes of her husband, rejecting her assigned role as housewife and mother, the situation escalates. Will Haja win her husband over so they can find a solution together?

SIERRA LEONE

Sierra Leone (officially the Republic of Sierra Leone) borders Guinea in the north and Liberia in the southeast. Freetown is the country’s capital and economic centre. English is the official language of this former British colony, but most people speak Krio.

Over a thousand schools were destroyed during the civil war that lasted from 1991 to 2002. Following the Ebola epidemic (2014-2016), the country is now working to rebuild state and social infrastructure. Both Sierra Leone’s constitution and the 2004 Education Act mandate nine years of compulsory basic education, but full compliance is not possible due to a lack of schools and teachers. The literacy rate of the adult population in 2015 was 48.1% (women: 37.7%, men: 58.7%).

Sierra Leone has a great variety of media. After a long debate, 2013 saw the passing of a freedom of information law. Sierra Leone ranked 85th out of 180 countries on the 2020 World Press Freedom Index, published by Reporters without Borders.
