RELIEFS BEING SOUGHT: Based on the foregoing, the Applicants sought for the following reliefs from the Court: 1. A DECLARATION that the current policy implemented by the Republic of Sierra Leone that prohibits pregnant girls from attending school is grossly unlawful, discriminatory, not in the children’s best interest and that it violates their rights to non-discrimination and to education in accordance with Articles 1, 2 and 17(1) of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (‘the Charter’); Articles 1, 3, 4, 11 and 24 of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child; articles 2 and 12 of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa; Articles 1, 3 and 4 of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation Convention against Discrimination in Education; articles 2, 3, 4 and 28 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child; Articles 2, 3, 5(a) and 10 of the Convention of Elimination of Discrimination against Women; Articles 2(2), 3 and 13 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; and Articles 2, 26 and 28 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 2. AN ORDER that the prohibitive policy be immediately revoked. 3. AN ORDER that the Respondent State develops strategies, programmes and nation-wide campaigns that focus on addressing the issue of teenage pregnancy in Sierra Leone through public education or awareness on sexual and reproductive health rights as this increased community knowledge on family planning and contraceptives will support efforts to address the high rate of teenage pregnancy.
