1. What does AWRA do?

AWRA is a survivor-led, Pan-African feminist movement working to end gender-based violence (GBV) and female genital mutilation (FGM) through advocacy, education, and community empowerment. We center African women’s voices to drive policy change and systemic justice.

2. Where does AWRA operate?

We work across Africa and the diaspora, with grassroots programs in Kenya, The Gambia, and Somalia, and global advocacy at platforms like the UN (CSW69) and U.S. State Department.

3. How is AWRA different from other women’s rights organizations?

We are led by survivors and African women, prioritizing intergenerational collaboration and local solutions. Our approach combines legal reform, storytelling (e.g., documentaries), and direct community action.

4. How can I support AWRA’s work?

Donate: Fund survivor-led programs and campaigns.
Advocate: Share our resources, join policy calls, or volunteer.
Partner: Collaborate as an organization or ally.

5. What impact has AWRA achieved?

200,000+ people reached through education and campaigns.
25% reduction in FGM cases in West Pokot, Kenya (2024).
Trained 48 lawmakers in The Gambia on anti-FGM laws.

6. How does AWRA ensure survivor voices are heard?

We platform survivors as leaders, speakers, and decision-makers—from community forums to global stages like TED Talks and CSW69. Our documentary Changemakers Without Borders elevates their stories.

7. How can I report GBV or FGM cases?

Contact local authorities or reach out to AWRA’s network partners (e.g., Anti-FGM Board Kenya). For urgent support, we refer survivors to trusted shelters and legal aid.

8. Does AWRA work with men and boys?

Yes! We engage men as allies and advocates through dialogues, education, and campaigns like Self-Expression (challenging harmful masculinity).

9. How transparent is AWRA with funding?

We prioritize accountability: annual reports detail partnerships (e.g., UNFPA, Wallace Global Fund) and fund allocation. Donor updates are shared quarterly

10. Can I invite AWRA to speak at my event?

Absolutely! Contact [email protected] for requests. Our team speaks on FGM, GBV policy, survivor leadership, and feminist movement-building.
