We have one mission at CSW69: Demanding for African women and feminist leaders to be included in peace and security talks. Because when women lead, peace lasts longer. Yet today, only 23% of Africa’s parliamentary seats are held by women, and their voices are still sidelined in critical decisions shaping our futures. From Sudan’s war zones to global negotiation tables, African women are already building bridges, healing communities, and defying violence. But the world keeps asking them to wait. Not anymore.
