Elizabeth Simbiwa Sogbo-Tortu
Elizabeth Simbiwa Sogbo-Tortu is a Sierra Leonean woman who was the subject of controversy after her 2009 bid to become a traditional chief was rejected because of her gender. Sogbo-Tortu's father and grandfather were the heads of the Niminyama chiefdom. According to Sogbo-Tortu, "Ten of us were in the race including my nephews, and I was the only one denied the right to stand, despite being the eldest and coming from a ruling house." After her disqualification, one of her nephews was appointed chief.〔
Sogbo-Tortu subsequently filed a legal appeal to her disqualification that was rejected. Despite an escort of police, United Nations officials, and women's rights activists, she was prohibited from returning to her home in Sewase, eastern Kono District after they learned it was besieged by rock-throwing members of the Poro secret society.〔
Yasmine Jusu-Sheriff, vice-chair of the Human Rights Commission of Sierra Leone, stated she would take the case to the Supreme Court. Women are barred from holding chieftainships in Northern Province and much of the east of the country, but female chiefs are allowed in the south of the country.〔
