AFRAD (African Feminist Research Initiative for Advocacy and Development) works to advance gender equality, civic freedoms, and social justice in Africa. We combine feminist research, advocacy, and movement building to address issues such as climate action, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender-based violence, and digital resilience. Through knowledge production, capacity strengthening, and community-driven initiatives, AFRAD empowers individuals and organizations to create inclusive, rights-based, and sustainable change.

I am eager to join the Catalyst Now community because I believe in the power of collective intelligence and collaboration to drive meaningful change. As an Associate Director at AFRAD, I work at the intersection of gender equality, civic freedoms, climate action, and digital resilience. My experience in feminist research, advocacy, and community mobilization has taught me that transformative solutions emerge when diverse voices come together.
