Background
FAHP was formally established on the 26th of June2014 as a national coalition to respond to the increasing need for collaborative work among organizations working towards the reduction and ultimate eradication of Harmful Practices (HP’s). These practices include but are not limited to child/forced marriage and Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) which can contribute to reproductive health problems, teenage pregnancy, maternal mortality and violence against women.
FAHP was established to build on the work of the first National Coalition as a unifying force to coordinate the activities of organizations working on the issues of HPs. FAHP holds the view that Harmful Practices (HPs) are so labelled because they impact negatively on the human rights of those concerned and as such, must be replaced over time with progressive and supportive activities that help all Sierra Leoneans to reach their full potential.
