unanticipated, time-sensitive, innovative, and unique initiatives that promote women’s agency in democratic governance, economic, environmental and climate justice, natural resources governance and conflict transformation while protecting their personhood, integrity, and rights.

Storm. This iteration of the Festival will center the experiences of African Womn’s Human Rights Defenders (AWHRDs) in crisis contexts, the traumas AWHRDs grapple with, how trauma plays out, is remembered, and is compounded in periods of crisis, and why we must center healing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing.
