Our Work

Five strategic priorities for women & girls

Our 2022–2026 strategy contributes to an improved state of human rights and gender equality for women and girls in Liberia.

Empowerment & Capacity Building of Members

To empower and strengthen membership capacity to deliver programme quality for women and girls.

We strengthen the institutional and programmatic capacity of our member organizations through mentorship, tailored training, robust monitoring and a focus on the safety and security of activists.

Coordination & Networking

Increase networking, collaboration and coordination amongst members and other institutions promoting gender equality and justice.

Our strength is our network. We deepen coordination across membership at national and regional levels and support members for collective change.

Advocate for Women & Girls' Rights

Lead national advocacy for women, girls, persons with disabilities and other marginalized groups, and respond to global issues aligned to our vision and mission.

We create an enabling environment where women's human rights are promoted, driving reform of policies and laws for gender equality.

Evidence-Based Research

Ensure gender analysis and research on key women's issues is conducted and documented to inform advocacy for gender equality.

Knowledge production and management are central to our strategy. We integrate gender analysis and evidence-based research into our programmes.

A Strong, Sustainable & Functional Secretariat

Strengthen the institutional and financial capacities of WONGOSOL.

Sustainability is paramount to achieving our mandate. We strengthen governance, human resources, resource mobilization, MEL, financial systems and ICT.

Thematic Focus

The issues we work on

Women, Peace & Security

Advancing the inclusion of women in all processes that affect their peace and security, in line with UN Resolution 1325 and the Liberia National Action Plan.

Political Participation & Leadership

Confronting the barriers that keep women out of leadership — women hold just over 10% of seats in the Legislature — and building women's voice in governance.

Economic Empowerment

Closing gaps in literacy, employment and pay, and accelerating women's economic independence and access to finance.

Ending Violence Against Women & Girls

Preventing and responding to SGBV, domestic violence and harmful traditional practices, and strengthening survivor-centred services.

Access to Justice

Improving women's access to legal information and services and reforming a dual legal system that too often fails women, especially in rural areas.
