Since Tunisia’s 2011 revolution, digital platforms have become central to political participation in the country, enabling female politicians, elections candidates, activists and public figures to mobilise communities and shape public debate. However, this visibility has drastically exposed women in politics to various forms of Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) : Online harassment, sexualised abuse, defamation, threats and coordinated smear campaigns are routinely used to undermine women’s credibility, silence their voices and deter their participation in political life. Beyond the severe harm inflicted on individual women in politics, TFGBV constitutes a structural threat to all women’s political rights, democratic pluralism and freedom of expression. By reinforcing misogynistic norms and normalising sexist intimidation, it erodes hard-won gains of women’s political participation in Tunisia.
We, over 500 feminists across four generations from 35 African countries and the Diaspora, convened both in person and online, reaffirm our collective commitment to strengthening access to justice for all women and girls across the African continent. Grounded in feminist solidarity, our lived experiences and collective action, we affirm that justice and accountability must be accessible, inclusive, survivor-centered and transformative in all contexts in times of peace, transition and conflict. We further reaffirm the leadership and meaningful participation of multigenerational women; 224 feminists convened in person and over 300 online, through national and Pan-African dialogues held in person in Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Cameroon, and online in Sudan, conducted in Arabic, French, English and Portuguese.
WE, multigenerational women peacebuilders and leaders from ten African conflict-affected countries, namely, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Sudan, and Swaziland gathered in Nairobi, Kenya, from 28–30 October 2025, on the occasion of Nalafem Women, Peace and Security Forum, marking the 25th anniversary of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325.
Nalafem Sudan Taskforce, joined by 100 Sudanese women and international feminist organisations, call on the Member States at the 80th UN General Assembly to urgently resume a credible and inclusive peace process to bring an end to the war in Sudan as it enters its third year. This appeal comes amid alarming developments including the recent administrative secession due to the formation of a de-facto government in the Western region of Sudan.
We, 120 women leaders from 25 African countries gathered in Freetown, Sierra Leone on 1st–2nd July 2025, united by a shared purpose: to shift the tide from mere representation to real power. hereby commit to the principles and actions outlined in the Freetown Declaration for Women in Power.
We, over 100 youth from North Africa and its diaspora, in partnership with the GEF Action Coalition stand united in our commitment to realizing the goals of the Beijing+30 process within our unique context. For North African feminists, Beijing+30 represents a critical platform to push back against systemic exclusions, both within our societies and globally. Our region’s young feminists demand urgent and targeted action that confronts the economic, social and cultural realities that continue to marginalize women and girls, especially within indigenous and rural communities like the Amazigh.
This toolkit is the idea and publication of activists from Afrika Youth Movement (AYM), Africa’s largest youth-led Pan-African movement. Afrika Youth Movement strives for the participation, development, and leadership of African youth to achieve our collective rights to peace, equality and social justice. This is a toolkit aimed at creating spaces for young Africans to unapologetically explore, define and claim their identity as Pan-Africanists.
The report is intended to provide an objective assessment of the current status, challenges, and opportunities faced by young Rwandan women with disabilities in active elective politics. While the research team has made every effort to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information presented, the report should not be considered a definitive or exhaustive representation of the subject matter.
The Nalafem Accountability Toolkit is a groundbreaking resource designed to empower young feminist organizations, civil society, and member states in Africa.
A collection of case studies, bringing together voices from different countries and continents to weave a picture that reflects the status of gender equality for people in these diverse contexts. It responds to the need for reflecting on the progress that has been made so far in the 25 years since the passing of this milestone, on how state and non-state actors have translated the declaration into practice, and what challenges were and are still being faced in the process and need to be addressed. This collection has been made possible through the support of Global Women Leaders – Voices for Change and Inclusion (GWLVoices), the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB), and the University for Peace.
We collaborated with the African Union Commission in editing the I Belong to Me book written by Soraya Addi, highlighting the story of Saleema, an 11 year old girl who travels the African continent visiting the cities where the main African policies on girl’s and women’s rights were elaborated and adopted, towards the elimi- nation of harmful practices. The book was presented at the 3rd African Girl’s Summit in Niger.
We collaborated with Purposeful in contributing a Case Study on how to re-distribute power. Young feminists have been impacted by philanthropy’s struggle to move resources at any sort of speed or scale. Yet still, the sheer inability of funders within the GEF process to sustainably resource girl and youth organizing and leadership is striking. The challenges are undeniably rooted in patriarchy and colonialism. Generation Equality as a platform should center on sustainable decolonized resourcing for girls and young feminist movements. This report seeks to document some of the challenges that have faced, analyze commitments that have been made, and make recommendations on how to bridge the significant gap between what is and what should be.
Nalafem provided Siasa Place a grant through the Nala Fund for the publication of this handbook that documents the stories of ten young women in politics in Kenya. This handbook is designed as a guide and source of inspiration for young women venturing into politics.
In collaboration with Young Women Consortium (Malawi), Nalafem provided a grant through the Nala Fund for development and publication of a policy brief on the status of abortion rights in Malawi. This policy brief juxtaposes Malawi law with the Maputo Protocol, centering the Protocol as a guide for best practice around Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights.
For any feminist foreign policy to be meaningful, it is vital that it addresses the gap between rhetoric and practice – including an acknowledgment of colonial history
