Peace Walk Held in Freetown to Commemorate International Peace Day

Hundreds of young people and civil society advocates marched through the heart of Freetown on Saturday, September 27, 2025, to mark International Peace Day with a call for non-violence and tolerance in the nation.
The peace walk, organized by the SHE4Peace organization and other youth-led groups, proceeded from PZ to the Cotton Tree under the theme, “Act Now, Lead Together: Building Peace through Youth and Women’s Voices.”
In her address, Nyanda Emma Hamilton, the legal representative of SHE4Peace, described the event as an initiative to foster a culture of peace and unity, particularly among the youth. She urged citizens to remember the country’s history of conflict and to embrace peace.
