496 Signatures – Sierra LeoneHawa Yokie had organized town halls in the surroundings of Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone. The town halls aimed at informing young women and men about the Africa Young Women B+25 Manifesto, as well as the Generation Equality Forum and Action Coalitions processes. Participants were positively impressed by the Manifesto, and no major constraints or challenges were faced by Hawa. The engagement resulted in 496 signatures being collected.
Working with NalaFEM was a great experience. I love the transparency of the organization and how inclusive they were to work with young people from around Africa. It helped me a lot to understand young people in my country on their knowledge about the Beijing +25 and the importance of signing the Manifesto.
The Africa Young Women Beijing+25 Manifesto is a groundbreaking feminist political document that sets out critical issues of concern for young women of Africa and makes demands for addressing them.
The Manifesto was drafted and published during the term of Ms. Aya Chebbi as the African Union Youth Envoy. It was endorsed by the leaders of Generation Equalization Forums, such as Ambassador Delphine O, by Phumzile Mlambo-Ngucka, Executive Director of UN Women, Madame Bineta Diop, Special Envoy on Women, Peace and Security at the African Union, among others.
Moreover, the legitimacy of the manifesto was set out by the young women and men who have voiced and advocated for their demands to be heard.
The Manifesto is the result of five Regional Barazas that convened over 1500 young people from across 44 African countries and over 30 partners from October 12 to October 30, 2020.
The Manifesto sets the demands for Generation Equality Forums. African young women are calling for change. The manifesto holds government and civil society accountable.
