Our Story
Our Mission
To disrupt existing power structures that undermine feminist liberation, challenge structures of oppression and raise consciousness towards collective liberation through radical knowledge production, policy advocacy, decolonial feminist organising and the documentation of the cultural evolution of liberation in Africa.
Our Dream and Vision
The historical patterns of power in relation to knowledge, social order, thought and expression has constituted a hindrance to African thought, knowledge and radical organising. The rise of fundamentalist movements, shrinking of civic spaces and repression of the rights of women and gender-expansive persons especially in the global South and particularly in Africa calls us to rigorous intellectual and social resistance based on critical thinking.
Liberation Alliance Africa is a collective of African feminists on the continent and in diaspora working to disrupt the legacies of historical colonial inequalities and domination and its resulting harm using African feminist scholarship. We recognise that we cannot continue to live with the memories of others as ours and that our future will not be birthed in a vacuum. Therefore, we are called to explore newfrontiers, reimagine our individual and collective futures and sustain an alliance of conscious Africans raising our voices in resistance and celebration.
