Date: Tuesday 19 March, 2024
Time: 2pm-4pm (EDT)
Join the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) and Foundation for a Just Society (FJS) for CSW68 event under the title On est ensemble: Funding feminist movements in French-speaking Africa
This session is part of a deliberate effort by the AWDF to deepen its understanding and support for the challenges and realities faced by movements of women, girls, and gender-diverse people in Francophone Africa/French-speaking Africa while strategising on the response and involvement of feminist funds and the philanthropic sector in advancing gender justice in this region.
During the event, AWDF and FJS will present the outcomes of a joint study on the context, realities, and priorities of these movements in eight Francophone African countries (Burkina Faso, Chad, Ivory Coast, Guinea Conakry, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal). The findings of this study will be made available to the general public in 2024 after being presented to activists in the region during the Francophone Feminist Forum in Lomé, Togo, at the end of 2023.
