AfricanFeminism (AF) is a pan-African feminists digital platform and collaborative writing project between African  authors/writers  with the long-term ambition of bringing on board at least one feminist voice from each country on the continent. As an online feminist platform, we encourage open discussion and dialogue on feminist issues throughout the continent.  We are about inquiry, questioning,dialoguing  and transforming mind-sets through such processes. We are not afraid to claim the word ‘Feminism’ and invite open conversations to better understand this paradigm through our own and others’ lived experiences, ways of being and knowing.

AF’S HISTORY 

In 2012, Billene Seyoum, working with a collective of African feminist writers, transformed her blog ethiopianfeminist to africanfeminism.com. The collective sought to utilise connections among various emerging African digital feminist voices and storytellers to engage with and amplify each other’s work, and to offer a platform to tell the stories of those on the margins.

In 2018, Rosebell Kagumire, a Ugandan feminist writer and thinker, took over the platform’s curation and editorial leadership. The platform exists for all African feminists in their plurality to reflect the personal journeys and social movements of our time. The platform has grown to encompass collective feminist struggles and achievements from throughout the continent.

Engage in the discussions and share insights to foster joy, knowledge, understanding, and creativity.
