The discussions between the two leaders focused on areas of mutual interest, including legislative advocacy, community education, survivor-centered interventions, and faith-based approaches to healing and transformation.
Hon. Attoh expressed appreciation for the visit and highlighted the Caucus's ongoing efforts to strengthen laws protecting women and children, promote inclusive governance, and collaborate with international organizations to exchange best practices.
The meeting concluded with a mutual agreement to explore future collaboration between the South African Faith & Family Institute and the Women’s Legislative Caucus of Liberia, with the shared goal of promoting dignity, equity, and justice for all.
