We are building a unified network to empower women in media to do exactly what @DivineMercyNal described:
"represent women in the way that they're supposed to be represented."

The work continues.

He correctly identifies that SRHR is not a "women's issue." It is a universal issue where men must be active allies. @Ugaman01

[African Centre for Women in Journalism (ACWJ) @africancwj]

How do we dismantle the colonial laws that still punish the African woman?

Attendees at our inaugural Annual Media Convention got the first chance to interact with Sarah Nakyobe, ACWJ's new AI assistant.

"SRHR is everyone's responsibility. He now understands the critical role men must play in supporting the choices of women.", @Ugaman01

[African Centre for Women in Journalism (ACWJ) @africancwj]

"Whoever tells the story controls the narrative." Our key takeaway from #litigationBaraza2025 - every journalist we train at ACWJ becomes part of reclaiming African women's stories from colonial frameworks.

Thank you @afyanahakiug for this transformative space.

CEHURD has been actively engaged in a meaningful dialogue at the Reproductive Justice Litigation Baraza organized by @afyanahakiug , under the theme
𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗥𝗛𝗥 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮: 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲.

Discussions have centered on addressing the criminalization and incarceration of individuals for seeking, providing or advocating health services, particularly in the face of regressive regional policy proposals.

Being in the room with passionate advocates from across Africa and Latin America is both humbling and energizing. The strategies discussed, and the connections forged are already reshaping how we think about the intersection of criminal justice and reproductive rights.

A reaffirmation that African women and girls deserve freedom, not imprisonment, for choosing life and health.

Mildred Mapingure receives the Ahaki Impact Award 2025 from Hon. @norbertmao.

Sexual violence survivor who won landmark reproductive justice victory in Zimbabwe.

Her story shows why women's voices cannot be silenced. @africancwj exists to amplify stories that demand justice.

Historic moment: @Winnie_Byanyima honors Justice Prof. Lillian Tibatemwa-Ekirikubinza with the 2025 Ahaki Impact Award. Her groundbreaking work reshaped how law is taught and applied, always asking who it serves.

A legacy transforming reproductive justice across Africa.
