African Feminist Forum
The African Feminist Forum (AFF) is a biennial conference that brings together African feminist activists to deliberate on issues of key concern to the feminist movement.[1] It was developed out of the growing concern amongst feminists on the continent, that the efforts to advance the rights of women on the continent were under serious threat from a number of sources. It took place for the first time in November 2006 in Accra, Ghana, and has subsequently convened in Uganda (2008), Senegal (2010)[2] and in Harare, Zimbabwe (2016).[3][4]
The African Feminist Forum Program[]
The African Feminist Forum program is organised along clusters which reflect the concerns and priorities of African feminists. Each cluster has two or three Coordinators. The clusters are as follows:

- African Feminism: political and economic power; resisting fundamentalisms
- Intersecting-Generations
- Feminist Creative Expression
