本文侧重于塞拉利昂妇女赋权的历史轨迹，以三个切入点为手段，探讨冲突前、冲突和冲突后时期的变化动态：发言权和政治参与；工作和经济参与；以及身体完整性。这篇文章回顾了冲突前塞拉利昂的赋权途径、妇女在1991年至2002年漫长而残酷的内战期间的经历以及冲突后的可能性，着重介绍了妇女生活中发生的一些变化以及塞拉利昂在和平时期开辟的途径。它表明，了解塞拉利昂妇女赋权的途径需要更密切地注意冲突和冲突后重建的动态，以及环境在形成制约和机会方面的重要性。
This article focuses on the historical trajectories of women's empowerment in Sierra Leone, taking three entry-points as a means of exploring the dynamics of change over the pre-conflict, conflict and post-conflict periods: voice and political participation; work and economic participation; and bodily integrity. Looking at pathways of empowerment in pre-conflict Sierra Leone, at experiences of women during the time of conflict over the course of a long and brutal civil war from 1991-2002, and at post-conflict possibilities, the article highlights some of the changes that have taken place in women's lives and the avenues that are opening up in Sierra Leone in a time of peace. It suggests that understanding women's pathways of empowerment in Sierra Leone calls for closer attention to be paid to the dynamics of conflict and post-conflict reconstruction, and to the significance of context in shaping constraints and opportunities.
