Live from #HLPF2026 at the side event on "Advancing Gender Indicators for SDG Implementation and Accountability."📊✨ The truth is stark: what is not measured is not prioritized, and what is not prioritized does not get funded. Gender data isn’t just about numbers—it’s about visibility, accountability, and political action. #HLPF #HLPF2026 #AfricanFeministStories #FeministsWantSystemsChange

“If youth working daily in the e-mobility sector do not know they have a national policy protecting them, does the failure equally belong to the government, CSOs and the youth themselves?” 🤔 #META #EUYSBKenya #InclusiveStructuredDialogues

💱Economies shape our lives every single day — but economic justice doesn't exist in isolation. It is deeply woven into climate justice, education, health, bodily autonomy, and the realization of women's rights. As the world navigates overlapping crises and economic shocks, today's conversations are asking the urgent questions: Why do Economic Justice and Rights matter now more than ever? And what must change? #Femonomics #EconomicJusticeAndRights #GenerationEquality

🗳️ The media is not just a mirror of our elections; it is a battleground where gendered meaning is contested. Too often, African newsrooms fall back on patriarchal codes—framing female candidates through a lens of emotionality, domesticity, or marital status rather than focusing on their policy, track record, and governance capabilities. As we look at the upcoming #ZambiaDecides2026 general elections and electoral processes across the continent, our call to action is clear: We must dismantle these biased narratives. True democracy requires a feminist shift in reporting—one that intentionally amplifies the voices, agency, and leadership of women and youth without subjecting them to symbolic erasure or sexist double standards. #WomenLeadAfrica #ZambiaDecides2026 #AfricanFeministStories #TransformativeWomenLeadership

Day 2 of the African Feminist Care Academy. Today, participants are unpacking the theory of social reproduction, feminist critiques of macroeconomics, feminist macroeconomics, and key economic tools that shape our lives. How do economies function, and whose labour makes them possible? #FeministCareAcademy #CareEconomy #TransformativeWomenLeadership #WomenLeadAfrica #Femonomics

One key takeaway from today's discussions on social reproduction: Capitalism depends on the largely unpaid work of caring for and reproducing human beings, making gender, race, and class oppression inseparable from economic exploitation. Feminist economics looks beyond the scarcity focus of mainstream economics and instead seeks to promote efficiency and equity in the use of resources. #FeministCareAcademy #CareEconomy #Femonomics #TransformativeWomenLeadership #WomenLeadAfrica

There is something powerful about a room full of care practitioners naming care not as women's burden, but as essential political and economic infrastructure. Drawing on African feminisms and the Pan-African Feminist Charter, Day 1 laid a clear foundation: care is collective, care is political, and care is everyone's business. #FeministCareAcademy #CareEconomy #TransformativeWomenLeadership #WomenLeadAfrica
