The last 2 days have been so surreal for us🥰

From hosting powerhouses to facilitating much needed conversations, the #nalafemsummit2026 has been nothing short of fulfilling 🙏🏽🧡

Thank you for being part of this generation's changemakers🌻

[Siasa Place @siasaplace]

We joined incredible women leaders, feminists, policymakers and changemakers at the 5th NALAFEM Summit under the theme “Power Meets Capital: When Women Back Women.” It was a powerful reminder that transforming politics and advancing gender justice requires more than representation, it demands intentional investment in women, solidarity and collective action.

One of the highlights was celebrating Irene Kanana of Luminous Safe Space Organisation, one of our mentees, who received the NALAFEM Leadership Award on Advancing Ending Gender Discrimination. Watching young women who have committed themselves to creating safer, more equitable spaces for others receive continental recognition is both inspiring and affirming

KEWOPA and Nalafem convened women parliamentarians, political leaders, activists, development partners, funders and business leaders for a high level roundtable focused on one objective. Identify practical legislative and financing priorities that will accelerate gender equity in elected positions across Africa.

The discussion recognised that expanding women's representation requires more than increasing numbers. It requires laws, institutions and political systems that protect, support and sustain women in leadership.

[Constitution Defenders Forum @cdfzim]

The Constitution Defenders Forum is honoured to be represented at the 5th Nalafem Summit in Kenya by our Secretary General @NcubeNikiwe, Deputy Secretary General Brilliant Dube, and Diaspora Secretary for International Relations @kimberl85034999.

Constitutionalism and women’s leadership are mutually reinforcing. A democratic constitutional order is strongest when women participate fully and equally in shaping public life and governance.

We remain committed to defending constitutional governance, promoting inclusive leadership, and supporting initiatives that expand women’s meaningful participation in political and public decision-making. We commend @_Nalafem for convening this important continental platform and look forward to translating these conversations into sustained action in defence of democracy, constitutionalism, and equal representation across Africa.

This year's summit centers feminist wealth and ethical political leadership. Conversations will dig into backing women's political power, protecting women facing #tfgbv and political violence, and advancing gender digital justice.

[GracaMachelTrust @G_MachelTrust]

On Day 1 of the 5th @_Nalafem Summit in Nairobi 🇰🇪 under the theme #PowerMeetsCapital, Elijah Wanjiru of the Pan-African Adolescent Girls Movement powered by the Graça Machel Trust called for wealth that is inclusive, ethical leadership that moves beyond promises, and accountability that drives real change.

Her message underscored the power of intergenerational leadership and the importance of creating space for adolescent girls to shape conversations on wealth, ethics and governance.

Watch.

The 4th #NalafemSummit2025 opened with fire.

Aya Chebbi reminded us: “When we see a woman rising, we show up.”

@WachukaMacharia followed: “Representation is entry, but power is ownership.”

This isn’t about being included — it’s about leading.

#WhereIsWanjiku??!!

Wanjiku Thiga, a 2024 Nalafem Fellow, was violently rearrested after being granted bail, and has since disappeared.
Young women are not safe in political spaces.

We demand her immediate release.
