The cartoon is the bitter truth: When DEBT SERVICING overshadows social amenities, African women become the "shock absorbers" of austerity.
When governments prioritize debt servicing and cut spending on public services (healthcare, education, social welfare), women are forced to shoulder the disproportionate burden.
As the Maputo Manifesto asks, governments must guarantee that public spending prioritizes social sectors, with increased investment in education, health, care systems, water and sanitation, and social protection rather than austerity cuts.

No to false solutions ✋🚫

False climate solutions like carbon markets distract from the real issue: breaking down systems that put profits before people and the planet. #Economicjustice means stopping policies that let polluters harm vulnerable communities while claiming offsets. We need real climate finance that focuses on fairness and supports a just, sustainable shift away from fossil fuels.

#data sim cards in #Blantyre
@AfrimaxMW has a good coverage across Blantyre & very affordable rates i hardly finish my 20GB it always gets rolled over.
@MalawiTelecomm coverage doesn't cover the whole Blantyre and also not reliable. Had to throw away the simcard.

As we look back at the evolution from the League of Nations to the #WTO, we must ask: How can Africa lead in the next phase of multilateralism with AfCFTA? #AfCoDDIV #TaxJusticeUG @TaxJusticeAfric

[Afrifem Macroeconomics Collective @NawiAfrica]

Why should African women care about public debt?

1.The costs of servicing debt are disproportionately borne by women, while the funds borrowed are rarely spent in ways that prioritise women’s rights.

The debt repayment model is unsustainable. Africa is still trapped in colonial debt exacerbated by post-colonial SAPs as the debt infrastructure continues to remain unjust.
