About the event: This IG Live dFlorence F/Khaxas and Françoise Moudouthe, steering committee members of AFF 2026, who will discuss what to expect at the forum; why AFF is needed in this contemporary political moment for African and African Diasporic feminists; and the enduring power and imagination of African feminisms.

The African Feminist Forum (AFF) is a regional gathering that brings together African feminist activists to discuss strategy, refine approaches, and develop stronger networks to advance women’s rights in Africa. Created to affirm and uplift the progressive visions and strategies of African feminists, AFF held its inaugural convening in Ghana in 2006, where over 100 African feminists from the continent and across the diaspora gathered to strengthen feminist mobilization. During AFF 2006, the Charter of Feminist Principles for African Feminists was created, which established the collective values of AFF. Since then, AFF has hosted other convenings in Uganda (2008) and Senegal (2010).

Twenty years since the inaugural forum, AFF will convene this year in Windhoek, Namibia from August 10-12, 2026.
