Felecia Takes Over as ActionAid Liberia Country Director for October In , Commemoration of Day of the Girl Child

Felecia Kamara is a proud feminist and passionate member of ActionAid Liberia’s Urban Young Women Movement, Felecia has been a fearless voice for young people especially for those who are often unheard. 

At the largest gathering of women recently, the 2025 SRHR Conference Felecia Kamarah officially took over as ActionAid Liberia’s Young Country Director, as part of the  Girls Take Over Campaign right in time for the International Day of the Girl Child celebration. 

The Girls Take Over Campaign is a time to break down the barriers which hold girls and women back from certain careers and from being leaders. During the International Day of the Girl, ActionAid like many international organizations around the world, we support girls to be front and center, to take over the boardroom, seats of power, channels of influence and the stereotypes that hold them and their futures back, while at the same time inspiring them and making them to know that they too can rise to these spaces. 

Inspired by her commitment to girls’ rights and empowerment, she has since embarked on a number of self- organized campaigns efforts to raise more awareness about girls rights, their sexual and reproductive health and rights to composing an inspiring song for ActionAid in recognizing of the numbers contributions of ActionAid to advancing girls and women rights and their advancement. 

This month as many around the world continue the observance of the International Day of the Girl Child, Felecia has introduced an effort to help demystify men’s orientation about women’s menstrual and reproductive health and rights. 

In Liberia, men see the issues of menstruation as taboo to even talk about, nor come to say opening seeing them carrying or holding a menstrual pad in their hands. 

What Felecia does in her helping to change men mentality about women’s reproductive health is that, she daps men and leaves unused sanitary pads in their hands and then thereafter she holds conversation with them about women and menstruation. She tells them that “there’s nothing wrong with giving a woman senary pads, or purchasing it to support a girl or woman during their periods. 

Felecia is on a mission to help men to clearly understand that “Buying pad  for their wives or girlfriends is not a crime.” She is helping  to end the taboo and to bring me and boys to break the taboo, but she first starts it with an interesting daps followed a conversation.   

At this year’s Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights conference, Felecia delivered a compelling and impactful remarks that captivated the audience at the conference, calling on the nation to invest in girls and women sexual and reproductive health and rights.  

And during our recent an open-air street awareness and public engagement, Felecia composed a song for ActionAid, spreading the message of equality, rights, and well-being for every girl and an expression of their gratefulness to ActionAid for support girls’ advancement. 

Take a listen and feel the passion that drives our movement for change.
