“At the AWDF, we believe that we can and must leverage the transformational power of the arts if we are to achieve and to accelerate real social change.

We use the power of the arts and culture to increase public support for women’s rights, to document women’s lives and contributions and create new, dynamic and more accurate narratives about African women; to raise the profiles of our amazing African women artists and to mobilise new constituencies – especially of confident, passionate young women activists.”
