Dear Director,

We are concerned about the report of Amnesty International : "Liberia, a flawed process discriminates against women and girls".

As written in the report, "In order to ensure that the final phase of the DDRR fully takes into account the specific needs of women and girls formally associated with the fighting forces, could the government with the NCDDR take the lead and:

Make sure that all staff involved in its planning and implementation are familiar with Security Council Resolution 1325, as well as, relevant international guidelines to provide for a gendered approach to both implementation and planning;

Ensure that gender appropriate information campaigns are made accessible to women and girls by working with women's organizations that work in the various areas;

Ensure that specific gender dynamics related to access to land and housing are considered, especially in the remote areas of Lofa County;

Ensure that psycho-social counseling is available in communities to all those (children, women and men) who need them;

Ensure that education and training programmes are accessible and flexibly designed to meet the needs of women and girls, including ensuring that funding is allocated for child care and/or other necessary arrangements, to allow women and girls to participate in training;

Ensure that programmes are designed to provide access to credit and/or capital once the training is over, and to create incentives for women to work in a cooperative manner to maximize their options;

Ensure that programmes are accessible to women experiencing particular health problems related to their experience of the conflict;

Ensure women and girls have access to quality career counseling which allows them to make choices that make sense for them that will lead them to choose marketable vocational skills:

Support women in skill training and business activities that will improve their overall livelihoods;

Ensure that micro-credit schemes and business training are options within the overall reintegration package;

Ensure that communities and community based groups are intricately a part of the process and assist in the reconciliation and healing processes; and

Ensure that the variety of roles, experiences of women and girls, and the consequences for women and girls must be reflected in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission process.

Can you please inform us about the steps you are taking to ensure the implementation of AI's recommendations ?

Yours sincerely and respectfully,
