Ultimately, the convening reaffirmed that strengthening national and transnational solidarity among young women is essential and that collective power must be nurtured, protected, resourced, and sustained.

We convened a hybrid regional forum on CEDAW GR No. 40 and the impact of Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) on young women leaders.
The dialogue unpacked how calls for greater inclusion of young women’s representation in decision-making systems.
#CEDAWGR40
Held at the close of #16DaysOfActivism that focused on ending digital violence, the forum created space for raw conversations on TFGBV and its emotional and mental toll on young women in leadership.
#15 years of impact. A lifetime of commitment💪🏾
We are proud to be part of the #UNWomen15 journey, championing #GenderEquality & empowerment of every woman & girl
This is a celebration & call to action to reform legal, political & financial systems to work for all women & girls
IPHRD and AWLN YWC Kenya is excited to host a conversation on the Role of Intergenerational Dialogue in promoting young women’s participation in Peace and Security. We will explore how we can create a more inclusive environment for young women to participate P&S initiatives.
Reflecting on a #successful year, we celebrate the #moments that defined us, the #milestones we have achieved, and the #stories of impact. As we look ahead to 2025, we remain dedicated to building an inclusive, progressive network that empowers women & youth and enhances their #leadership roles across Africa
2025 is for unstereotyiping!
No more “women are”:
too loud,
too emotional,
too ambitious,
too difficult,
too bossy,
too much,
Looking forward to seeing women thrive in their element as BOLD contributors! 🎊
The opening ceremony concluded with a group photo, featuring women leaders, advocates, and change-makers from across Africa, all united and ready to engage in meaningful conversations on mediation.
