DEDICATION
This work is a dedication to all women and children who suffered from all forms of abuse in Monrovia,
especially during and after the civil war. Since the end of the war some patterns of domestic violence
have been curtailed due to government action and those of civil society organizations. Laws have
been passed to protect women and children, especially the vulnerable – widows, orphans,
abandoned, and those caught up in domestic slavery. This work is dedicated to you all.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to thank Mr. Edmond Ponga, now an instructor at Ricks Institute, who has lived in
Monrovia throughout the war period, and was involved in teaching abandoned children and adult
women for over five years. I also want to recognize the contributions made by Mr. Ahmed Dukuly,
also an instructor at Ricks Institute, for his invaluable recommendations and suggestions. Mr. Dukuly
worked with UNHCR during the war period here in Liberia and Sierra Leone. ……(to be continued)
