Description
True Heroes of Liberia is a powerful video project that amplifies the voices of conflict-related sexual violence survivors through creative art. Liberian women use performance and storytelling to demand justice and accountability, ensuring that past atrocities are not forgotten. Their performance at the Liberian Reconciliation Commission served as both a means of healing for survivors and a stark reminder to the nation of the devastating impact of war and sexual violence.
This project honors the resilience of survivors but also plays a crucial role in Liberia’s reconciliation process. By sharing their stories through art, these women continue to fight for recognition, justice, and a future free from violence.
