By naming ourselves as feminists we politicise the struggle for women's rights.

We recognise that the work of fighting for women's rights is deeply political, and the process of naming is political too.

We question the legitimacy of the structures that keep women subjugated.

We are African women – we live here in Africa and even when we live elsewhere, our focus is on the lives of African women on the continent.
