Glenna Gordon and Jina Moore look at Liberia's efforts to restore law and justice -- for victims of sexual violence, for communities in conflict and for the nation as a whole. Gordon and Moore travel to Liberia's new Sexual and Gender Based Violence courts to find out how the country is tackling an epidemic of rape crimes and to rural Liberia, to investigate growing land disputes that threaten Liberia's hard-earned, fragile peace. The project focuses on local voices, experiences and ideas to understand the new Liberia.

Liberia: Ma Ellen talk plenty plenty Liberian English
Jina Moore, for the Pulitzer Center
One of the luxuries of Monrovia is working in my native language -- almost. English is the official language of Liberia, and the lingua franca of all things government. But it's not really what the people speak.
