Zambian Feminists

We are feminists. Unapologetic.

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

@GenevieveNnaji1's #lionheart gave us the strength of family and a sharp reminder of just what women with all the resources go through when trying to crack business deals.

May we all have an uncle Godswill who will punch men on put a price on us like objects!

@Zar1na_Khan You were a grade ahead #lwengu!

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

Great to see @Zar1na_Khan up ad fierce! We went to school together!!

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

Even as we orgnise the march we want to send out this signal: this march will be all inclusive. We want people who truly believe that all humans are born equal- regardless of genitili and who you identify with. We need safe spces for ALL Zambians! #womensmarchlusaka

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

Don't forget you also came from nakedness! Yes..your mama!

[RAYMOND™ @Ray9224]

Abused human rights, walking naked is not right but foolishness

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

Yes! It is a free and open space!

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

come see what your people in Zambia are doing. In 2019, men who hold the law and have bruised egos dictate what is right or wrong. This is a violation of human rights!

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

And your @ulendotaxi was k0.50 short in change. But you can keep it. We are marching jANUARY 19 as feminists and women from diverse backgrounds. You are free to join. Wink.

@zedfeminists Actually she had no valid information to back her argument.

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

Well you had no right to castigate me because of my choice in religion and church. Such nonsense is the reason why women are angry, why we are passionate and why we call out men who feel entitled based on their phallic advantage. Its not an argument when you are hired.

[Ndele Simukoko @Ndele_]

@zedfeminists Actually she had no valid information to back her argument.

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

@Ndele_ remember when this admin hired your Ulendo and you found out we used to go to the same church and that admin stopped being ADVENTIST for her own personal reasons and you spent 20 minutes telling her she is going to hell for 'ignoring the true church? We will march.

@RasputinZm @zedfeminists @ChisecheSays Indeed.

[WomensMuseumZambia @WomensMuseumZed]

A defining moment that @c_mwanza has created.

[WomensMuseumZambia @WomensMuseumZed]

"I want to make sure that every Zambian child no matter which country they are in, will have the resources that represent their culture" @c_mwanza speaking at the launch of her children's book. "A Family Adventure" So proud of you!!

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

This is why we're marching. Exhibit A.

[Advocate @RasputinZm]

@zedfeminists @ChisecheSays I wish African feminists could develop their own brand of feminism instead of just parroting the Western concept of what it means to be a woman. Please our beautiful African women develop your own feminist theory that is authentically African.

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

19 january!

[MEG @meganmumba]

@zedfeminists @mwakxie date?

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

That is where people also go wrong. Y'all focus so much on how it should appear that you lose focus on what needs to been said, expressed and done in the first place. It doesn't matter what philosophy one woman chooses or identifies with cause our struggles are so different.

[Advocate @RasputinZm]

@zedfeminists @rgay It is so important that you give your struggle expression because it is words and concepts that guide. Without a feminist philosophy, you risk losing the gains of your struggle. A philosophy acts as library of the struggles and gains and gives direction.

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

Our struggles are not limited to concepts and ideologies and bottled womanhood! There is much more to this feminism journey than how we appear. There are no guide book and in the name of our favorite feminist @rgay...we are probably just bad feminists

[Advocate @RasputinZm]

@zedfeminists @ChisecheSays I wish African feminists could develop their own brand of feminism instead of just parroting the Western concept of what it means to be a woman. Please our beautiful African women develop your own feminist theory that is authentically African.

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

We will get in touch with you tomorrow after our logistic meeting! Thanks for this!

[Rosie Motene- Pan African Queer feminist! 🏳️‍🌈 @RosieMotene]

@zedfeminists Could you send info. I would like to blog and document it

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

@marchbby_x @AidaYamika @kaluwa_iam We will give you more info mailo!!

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

We are excited to be part of the Women's March 2019 in Lusaka under the theme #mybodymychoice . We encourage women from all parts of the city to join us on January 19 as we join the rest of the world in marching for our freedom so we can be heard and seen!

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

We are trying to get tshirts done which we can all wear but basically, we want all women taking in the march to be as comfortable in themselves as possible! We want to make a statement about our bodies, our rights and the freedoms that society deprives us! We too matter!

[Zambian Feminists @zedfeminists]

We have received a lot of interest for the women's march! It will take place on Jan 19th 2019, the same day as all other Womens' marches worldwide! . Also, we are finalizing permits cause we have two possible routes!
