We are heartbroken by the passing of Snr. Chief Kachindamoto, a genuine hero who ended child marriages and advocated for girls' education.
Her bravery transformed laws and impacted lives. May her legacy motivate us to continue striving for gender equality.
Rest in power.
Where can one locate good quality nose rings (including hoops) in this country please- especially Lilongwe?

Returning to writing in these tumultuous times to call on our African Feminist ancestors and all of us, to seek and lean on our core AFRICAN Feminist values to push back in every way that counts.

The system is disfavoring men? What system? My brother Men are the most favoured people in the system. The system was made by men, for men. Men have a thousand year lead on women, across all societies on earth. – at Republic of Mozambique
... the political is personal and the personal is political, ... the experiences of young people with their sexual & reproductive health & rights, is a political question that must take into account the social & economic contributing factors.

An excellent conversation this was!
Can radical alternatives to austerity emerge from within the systems that uphold them?
Join us as feminist thought leaders, activists, and advocates as we critically examine the Civil Society Policy Forum's historical role, its impact on IMF and World Bank policies, and the opportunities (or lack thereof) it provides for reversing the deeply entrenched austerity measures that continue to harm African women and other structurally marginalized groups.
Steerers of the conversation:
@FaithLumonya – Economic Justice & Climate Action Lead, AMwA
Bhumika Muchhala – Senior Advisor, @3rdworldnetwork | Lecturer, The New School
@Emilia_Equidad Reyes – Program Director, Policies & Budgets for @equidadmx

Please help us find our brother.
Repost, someone somewhere might know something.
Who tailors your clothes?
Looking for a Lilongwe based tailor. Who understands that bigger bodies should not be forced to squeeze into undersized chitenje clothes 😬

This is the same as the male folks who go around in women's rights meetings leading with,
"Our women this, our women that."
But we digress and proceed on. Good luck to everyone involved truly.

So helpless 💔💔💔😢
———-
She’s dead.
"Are you sure?"
Bruises. Blood. A lifeless body.
"But what if she started it?"
She tried to leave.
"Why didn’t she leave sooner?"
She left.
"Why didn’t she stay and fix things?"
She screamed.
"Why didn’t she just stay quiet?"
She stayed quiet.
"Why didn’t she ask for help?"
She asked for help.
"Why didn’t she help herself?"
She fought back.
"She was crazy."
She didn’t fight back.
"Why didn’t she fight for her life?"
She is dead. And somehow, it is still her fault.
Hana Lalango. Five men raped her, left her for dead.
Derartu Lemesa. Stabbed by the man beside her.
Mahlet Teklay. Kidnapped. Found dead.
Zewdu Haftu. Dragged across the ground by a man in a car, died from the wounds.
Meaza Kassa. Stabbed by her colleague. At work. Where she should have been safe.
Tsigereda Girmay. Killed because she refused a man’s love request.
Nuhamin Tilahun. Stabbed in broad daylight by a man who claimed he loved her.
Chaltu Abdi. Raped and murdered in the home where she worked as a housemaid.
Selome Gulilat. Shot by a federal police officer. His reason? “Who are you not to talk to me?”
Firehiwot Tadesse. Wanted a divorce. Got a bullet instead.
Adanwit Yheyis. Raped by her stepfather. When her mother reported him, he stabbed her to death.
Haymanot Bedada. Killed in a hospital laboratory. A place meant to save lives.
Seble Nigusie. Acid poured over her. Stabbed. Killed by the man who once held her close.
Fatuma Ugas. Raped by a group of men. Hanged to death.
Tigist Likelew. Stabbed in front of a judge. In a courtroom. After her divorce was finalized.
“It’s complicated.”
“There are two sides to every story.”
“Men suffer too.”
She is dead. And they are still talking about him.
So tell me, what is the correct way for a woman to die?
What is the acceptable way to be murdered?
What will it take for you to just—
Believe us.
