On #IWD2026 we reaffirm our commitment to advancing women’s leadership across Africa. This year’s theme, “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls,” reminds us that equality requires more than words, it demands action. When women lead, Africa rises. #RightsJusticeAction

Happy World NGO Day. We honor the civil society shaping justice equality and community empowerment across Africa. Your work fuels the movement for a more inclusive continent. #WorldNGODAY

Every three seconds, a girl is married somewhere in the world. Child marriage is a human rights violation that denies girls the chance to reach their full potential. Join @UNFPA in speaking out against this form of gender-based violence: buff.ly/AZJi44v

WLA joined the BNYC–BOCONGO post-budget dialogue after Monday’s National Budget Speech, calling for gender-responsive budgeting, youth-focused priorities and stronger public finance accountability. Rising unemployment & the cost of living require urgent, inclusive action.

🏫 More girls are completing school than ever before. That's not just a record—those are millions of lives being transformed. Education is not a privilege. It's a fundamental right #ForAllWomenAndGirls

𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 To all the women who have been told that they are: too loud, too emotional, too ambitious, too difficult, too bossy, too much, We hear you. We believe in you. We stand with you. Let's fight the stereotypes together #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

Happy New Year colleagues. May 2026 bring new opportunities and great strides.

Women and girls with #disabilities face disproportionately high rates of violence — often from those closest to them. Safety isn’t a privilege. It’s a right. Disability inclusion and gender equality must move forward together #ForAllWomenAndGirls: unwo.men/ffBm50XATSU #NoExcuse #IDPD2025

This #WorldAIDSDay2025, we stand with all people living with HIV and reaffirm our call for gender-responsive HIV responses led by women and youth. Together, let’s unite to break stigma, strengthen care systems, and build an AIDS-free Africa.

Digital violence is becoming one of the biggest obstacles to women’s leadership. In Africa, 46% of women parliamentarians face violent threats, and 41.8% of women politicians are targeted with sexual defamation, tactics designed to force them out of public leadership. We must put an end to this, and to all forms of digital violence against women and girls, once and for all. #16Days #NoExcuse

📢 #16Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence begins tomorrow. We’re exposing how the digital world has become a minefield of abuse. Join us to rally for a world where technology is a force for equality – not harm: unwo.men/cHLp50XwyrO #NoExcuse #ACTtoEndViolence

AWLN joins the #G20 Social Summit with a clear call: sustain funding for DREAMS-like programmes that protect adolescent girls & young women across 15 countries. Cutting support now risks reversing a decade of progress. Investing in AGYW is investing in Africa’s future.

From the grassroots to high-level spaces, Women Lead Africa is pushing for accountability, protection and justice. 16 Days of Activism is not a campaign for us it is a daily commitment #16DaysAgainstGBV 🟠🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
