Afrofeminism is a journey, not a destination—an ongoing fight for liberation that demands patience, persistence, solidarity, and vision.
We offer this journal to movements as tool for analysis, education, advocacy, and organizing. We hope it will spark discussions, inform strategies, support advocacy, and contribute to building African feminist movements powerful enough to achieve transformation.
This journal would not exist without the efforts of many: the researchers who conducted investigations, the writers who crafted these articles, the Women Human Rights Defenders who shared their stories, the editorial board who provided guidance, the designers who created this beautiful publication, and the entire RFLD team whose dedication makes all our work possible.
The future of Africa is feminist, or it will not be at all. This is not just rhetoric but an acknowledgment that the critical challenges our continent faces—from climate crisis to democratic backsliding, from economic inequality to violent conflict—cannot be addressed without women’s full participation and leadership.
This journal contributes to that feminist future. May it strengthen our movements, inform our strategies, and inspire our ongoing struggle.
The fight continues. And we will prevail.
In feminist solidarity,
Mrs. AGUEH Dossi Sekonnou Gloria
Africa Director, RFLD
