Hardly is adverb and hard is verb.

The word hard has the relation with freedom which is a noun. If we write hardly then we are connecting it with the verb.

When gender is not mentioned, here citizen, we can use her, his or both (his or her) but when we write like this, it appears poor constructions so it is advisable to rewrite the sentence.

They are natural genders, In English we don't use gender pronouns like in French but we address soft and natural things for example for motherland, ship and nature we use feminine terms.
