Embodying Love and Power
with Young African Women
Strengthening Communities through Leadership & Action
Situation
Despite notable progress in global, regional and national legal human rights instruments, women and girls rights face severe threats across the globe. Religious fundamentalism,economic injustice, weak implementation of policies and shrinking civic and political spaces are driving a backlash on women and girls rights.
Our Story
We are a young feminist organization that exists to connect with and support young African women and girls to reinforce their place as leaders driving transformative change in their communities and beyond. We ride on the shoulders of feminist trailblazers that came before us and we honor that gift while re-imagining new ways of being. We are dedicated to strengthening and amplifying the voice, visibility and their collective power for a just and sustainable world. We are creating safe and joyful spaces where we collectively interrogate, reflect and co-create strategies on Sexual and Reproductive Justice (SRJ) and Climate Justice.
Our Values
We acknowledge the complex and interconnected forms of oppression faced by women and girls. Our values are deeply entrenched in feminist principles guided by the Charter of Feminist Principles for African Feminists.
We pledge honesty, transparency, and accountability at all levels, ensuring effective actions and maintaining openness in judgments and communication.
We push boundaries and challenge the status quo.Our feminist spirit thrives on breaking molds and sparking change.
We embody this through empathy, sisterhood, and collaborative innovation, believing in the transformative power of collective action. We embrace the interconnectedness of struggles, recognizing that an individual's challenge is a collective one.
Fueled by our bold feminist spirit, we dream big!
We use intersectionality to analyze and address the combined oppressions affecting women and girls.This helps us understand how power systems interact to compound their oppression.
We wear our thinking caps outside the box in every project.
