The conference seeks to contribute to policy shifts, funding and solidarity around ending sexual and gender-based violence, promoting abortion rights and advancing the narratives of gender non-conforming people.<\/p>\n<p>The ACSHR is a critical moment for human rights and gender justice activists, collectives and organisations to convene and recommit to shared goals, principles and promising practices toward promoting SRHR on the African continent. The conference is hosted by Purposeful and convened by the African Federation for Sexual Health and Rights in partnership with the Government of Sierra Leone, the United Nations Spotlight Initiative, partners across the Continent and co-programmed with the WOW Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>AWDF will co-host a two-layered session, <em>Policy and Financing Dialogue on Prioritising African Women SRHR<\/em> that anchors the experiences of African women\u2019s rights organisations, activists and influencers to steer policy and financing discussions on prioritising critical SRHR issues on the continent. The two-sequel panel session will start with movement voices amplifying the gaps, innovations and opportunities from front-lining SRHR initiatives and cascade into a high-level policy, financing and partnerships call to action that features policy and funding representatives.<\/p>\n<p>The ACSHR aims to build a critical mass of feminist activists that are key for inspiring change towards scaling up the prevention of sexual and gender-based violence in Africa. It is also an opportunity to showcase AWDF\u2019s work as an ally and resourcing partner for critical SRHR work and women\u2019s rights organising on the continent.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/acshr2022.org\/\">Click here to book your tickets <\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have an exciting line-up of speakers, performers, renowned African feminists including AWDF CEO Fran\u00e7oise Moudouthe.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for more details!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15050\" src=\"https:\/\/awdf.org\/OldSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-countdown-is-on-twt-450x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/awdf.org\/OldSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-countdown-is-on-twt-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/awdf.org\/OldSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-countdown-is-on-twt-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/awdf.org\/OldSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-countdown-is-on-twt-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awdf.org\/OldSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-countdown-is-on-twt-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/awdf.org\/OldSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-countdown-is-on-twt.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; AWDF is excited to announce our participation at the 10th Africa conference on Sexual Health and Rights (ACSHR), which will take place from 27th June -1st July 2022 in Sierra Leone.
