Government Warns Against Sharing Explicit Content Involving Children and Women

The Ministry of Gender and Children’s Affairs has condemned all forms of violence, exploitation, and the creation, possession, or sharing of explicit images and videos involving children and women.

In a statement, the ministry warned that every click, share, download, or forward of abusive content fuels exploitation, violates human dignity, and causes lasting emotional and psychological harm to victims. It stressed that such acts are not only unethical but also criminal offences punishable under the laws of Sierra Leone.
