We are an Africa wide women’s rights organization and are committed to empowering young African women peacemakers and activists as key strategic players to promote active non-violence and gender sensitivity within the peace movement as a better means of transforming unjust political, social and economic structures for sustainable peace.
Our mission is to promote to promote active nonviolent peacebuilding in Africa with women as key players.
Strategic goals:
We seek to enhance peace on the continent through following five strategic approaches
i) Increasing capacity of women activists with particular emphasis on young women, in active non violence
ii) Increasing visibility of women in non violent peace building processes
