As a leading regional feminist organization, Réseau des Femmes Leaders pour le Développement (RFLD) is dedicated to driving impactful change alongside UN Women and women’s rights advocates. RFLD was honored to be selected by the UN Women Regional Office for West and Central Africa to participate in the Consultation on Advocacy, Coalition Building, and Transformative Feminist Action to End Violence against Women taking place in Abuja, Nigeria from 23-24 November 2023. The consultation aims to be interactive, engaging participants to maximize their expertise and time spent together. Throughout the two-day event, participants will have the opportunity to connect and reconnect, identify underlying values, co-create a collective vision, spot advocacy opportunities, envision success, and propose implementation mechanisms. RFLD stands poised to contribute to this crucial consultation, actively working towards advancing feminist action and ending violence against women in the region and beyond.
