A powerful legacy of women's leadership stretches back centuries in the whole of Africa. In many pre-colonial societies, women weren't simply present, they were central figures in leadership, peacebuilding, and community development. This rich history stands in stark contrast to the stereotype of women as passive victims.
This legacy continues to inspire. Today, African women are actively participating in shaping the continent's future in the economy, peacebuilding, governance, environmental protection, and political spheres. Despite challenges, they are leading the way through collectives, movements, and grassroots organisations.
AFWAG recognizes this incredible strength and resilience. We believe African women deserve the space and support to fully exercise their rights, participate in decision-making at all levels, and thrive in all aspects of life.
We honour the powerful legacy of women's leadership on the continent through:
Leadership Development Programs: We offer a suite of programs designed to equip women with the skills and knowledge to become powerful changemakers.
Movement and Community Building: We foster a connected network of leaders and organisations, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing for unified action.
Resource Hub: A central portal providing access to resources, information, and connections, empowering locally driven movements.
Advocacy: We champion policy changes that create a supportive environment for social entrepreneurs and promote gender equity.
