African Council of Religious Leaders

On March 12, the Africa Women of Faith Network convenes voices that too often go unheard. Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women & Girls. A webinar featuring the success stories of AWFN leaders building peace, advancing justice & driving change in their communities. #IWD2026

Water is not only a resource. For many faith traditions, it is sacred. Its protection is a moral responsibility. This week as we marked World Water Day, we reflect on what it means to steward this resource justly & what faith communities in Africa are doing to lead that effort.

@unwomenafrica @irck_info @WomenDeliver @gnwp_gnwp @WEL2030_ @AU_HHS @AUC_PAPS @religions4peace “It is possible – a small action somewhere, but quite transformative. We have worked through faith leaders to promote the rights and dignity of women and girls, and a county government that once ignored us has now given us a commendation.” — Phyllis W. Kamau, AWFN Kenya
