There is no word like "hardly-won" but "hard-won" exist in the dictionary, which is an adjective.
According to Cambridge dictionary:
If something is hard-won, it was only achieved after a lot of effort.
Example: A hard-won battle.

Freedom is a noun so we should use an adjective to modify this not an adverb. "Hard-won" is adjective and "Hardly-won" is an adverb.

"It is the duty of every citizen to do his utmost".
When gender is not mentioned for the noun, one should always use the pronoun 'he'. Preference is always given for the male pronouns when the Gender of the Noun is not mentioned in the sentence.
