Let’s gather in solidarity 💪🏾

In this paper I argue that state violence in Zimbabwe is gendered 1)It targets individual identity of women to keep them out of politics 2)It targets their collective identity(as political parties)using women’s bodies as sites for emasculating political opponents africanarguments.org/2020/12/08/t...

🌍 On this #InternationalDayOfNonViolence, men & women in Africa can uphold peace by choosing dialogue over conflict, breaking harmful norms and supporting survivors of violence.

True strength is non-violence. 💙✊🏾

Studying #law empowers the feminist movement to:

Two weeks ago, during our Leadership Summit in Malawi, we united around the call for greater women’s political participation. This week that vision shines bright as Malawi elects a female Vice President, a powerful testament to what happens when women rise, lead, and claim their space in governance🇲🇼

Feminism Is Alive and Evolving Across Africa 💪

Young women are leading, pushing past stereotypes, and driving real change,from grassroots to parliament. The future of African leadership is inclusive & gender-balanced. ✊🏾✨

We imagine a world where:

🌍 Young women are leaders, not footnotes.
🌍 Movements that are resourced & protected.
🌍 A continent where justice & equality are non-negotiable.
