For nearly four decades, FEMNET has stood at the heart of Africa’s feminist movement - connecting struggles, amplifying voices, and reshaping global agendas on gender justice and women’s rights.

30 after the landmark Beijing Conference on Women, feminists continue to wrestle with the promise and the pitfalls of multilateral spaces.

In a world consumed by crises - wars, authoritarian regimes, economic injustices, and transnational anti-rights movements, feminists continue to do what we have always done: resist, rebuild, and reimagine.

Domestic workers have long carried the weight of households, families, and societies on their shoulders, often in silence and invisibility. For decades, their labour was undervalued and their rights denied. 

For more than three decades, Women in Law and Development in Africa (WiLDAF) has stood at the forefront of feminist advocacy, ensuring that African women’s voices are not only heard, but also shape the decisions made in global and regional spaces.
