“I believe in the rights of women to be all they can possibly
be, their right to happiness, to control the fruits of their
labour and to control their bodies”
Thelma Awori, Liberia/Uganda
“I seek to create spaces in which African women engage
in authentic dialogue about our experiences of making
changes in our lives that both embrace our power and
challenge oppression”
Yaliwe Clarke, Zambia, South Africa
“I call myself a feminist because I have been through
incidents in my life that proved to me that equality and
egalitarianism are basic rights for everyone”
Fatma Emam, Egypt
“Women and girls possess enormous potential that is still
underutilised and whose real value is unknown”
Mariama Faye, Senegal
