"The Power of Women's Leadership and Movement Building: Gender Based Violence, Sexual and Reproductive Rights in Conflict and Post Conflict Africa"

Since its inception in 1985, AMwA has been committed to women’s empowerment and development focusing on ‘raising the bar’
by equipping African women to participate in the areas of leadership and decision making, as well as empowering them to have
a voice in key issues and areas that affect them. This is crucial as the future of the African women’s movement is dependent
on the development of a feminist constituency amongst the next generation of African women leaders. AMwA has achieved this
objective through organizing its innovative flag-ship programme, the African Women’s Leadership Institute (AWLI) since 1997.
AMwA also believes strongly in the currency of feminist movement building strategies towards strengthening the African women’s
movement as a collective, but also sustaining individual activism as we move towards transforming the face of leadership in
Africa. True social movements build and nurture leaders, and AMwA hopes to contribute to the strengthening the African women’s
movement through this new 3-year project on “Women’s Leadership and Movement Building in Conflict and Post-conflict
Countries in Africa’’ supported by the MDG3 Fund, an initiative of the Dutch Foreign Ministry.
The Regional Consultative Meeting held on 28th – 29th April 2009 in Kampala, Uganda formed part of the planning process for
this project, and showed the relevance of harnessing the power of women’s leadership and movement building in addressing
gender based violence and sexual and reproductive health rights in conflict and post-conflict countries in Africa. There can be no
peace, security or development on the continent without the elimination of violence against women!
