African Feminist Forum
The African Feminist Forum is a biennial conference that brings together African feminist activists to deliberate on issues of key concern to the feminist movement.[1] It was developed out of the growing concern amongst feminists on the continent, that the efforts to advance the rights of women on the continent were under serious threat from a number of sources. It took place for the first time in November 2006 in Accra, Ghana.
The African Feminist Forum Program
The African Feminist Forum program is organised along clusters which reflect the concerns and priorities of African feminists. Each cluster has two or three Coordinators. The clusters are as follows:
- Crafting an African Feminist Epistemology
- Feminist Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive health and rights in Africa
- African Feminism: political and economic power; resisting fundamentalisms
- Intersecting-Generations
- Feminist Creative Expression
- African Women’s Movements: organizations, structures and capacities
- Confronting violation in women’s lives
- Global Feminism and the UN System
