AfWID commitment: I am the one Africa has been waiting for
On 31 January 2025 at the closing ceremony of African Women in Dialogue (AfWID) 3 forum, over 1,200 women from 54 African countries came together to adopt a bold, personal declaration: “I Am the One Africa Has Been Waiting For.” This commitment is a collective pledge to act with intention, accountability, and courage in advancing the rights, power, and agency of African women. Grounded in healing, solidarity, and feminist action, it affirms that the future we seek begins with the steps each of us is willing to take — right now, right where we are.
