Voices of Our Moment is a feminist podcast series supported by the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF). The podcast serves as a platform for women, girls, activists, community leaders, and changemakers to share their stories, experiences, and perspectives on issues affecting gender equality, social justice, and development across Africa.
Stories have the power to educate, inspire, and transform societies. Through honest conversations and lived experiences, Voices of Our Moment seeks to challenge harmful norms, celebrate resilience, and amplify voices that are often excluded from mainstream narratives.
The podcast creates space for meaningful dialogue on issues such as gender-based violence, women’s leadership, sexual and reproductive health and rights, economic justice, climate justice, digital rights, and feminist organizing.
