Nurturing a space for African Feminists to leverage their knowledge to respond to historic and contemporary injustices
Reparations are not just about compensating for the past. The violence of colonialism did not end with independence. Gendered dispossession, reproductive coercion, and forced labour continue to shape the realities of African people today. 🎥 youtu.be/W4Obr_rYTH0?...

As Sylvia Tamale's argues, colonial regimes didn't just take land and labour, they imposed rigid, hierarchical definitions of woman & man onto African societies that hadn't organised gender that way before. That imposition is part of what #reparations has to address. 🔗 rewib.org/resources/to...

One of the report's clearest interventions is FFP as normative global praxis is incomplete without African perspectives. Not as an afterthought to add but as a structural gap in how the whole concept has been theorised. Read it here: 🔗 rewib.org/resources/af...

The UN General Assembly has adopted Ghana’s resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade the gravest crime against humanity. Argentina, Israel, and USA voted against, while many Global North countries abstained. That is precisely where a decolonial Afro-feminist lens becomes non-negotiable.

Colonial gendered violence did not end with independence. It continues to mutate through neoliberal economic systems, through unpaid care work, climate injustice, and extractivism – Njoki Wamai 🎥 A Decolonial, Pan-African Feminist Approach to Reparations youtu.be/W4Obr_rYTH0?...
‘Reparations is not a plea for inclusion, it is not a plea to be recognized, it is about asserting the sovereignty of African being and personhood in the world. Because that is really what is at the core of the crime that has been done to us.’ - Panashe Chigumadzi 🎥 youtu.be/W4Obr_rYTH0?...
Last week, we discussed women’s bodies and labour as sites of colonial violence, why reparations cannot be charity or symbolism, and how neoliberalism, extractivism and climate injustice continue colonial harm. Reparations must repair lives, not just history. Watch 📺 youtu.be/W4Obr_rYTH0?...

Colonial gendered violence was not incidental. Women’s bodies and labour were central sites of control, violence, and extraction across Africa. African women’s bodies were not only controlled under colonial rule, they were sites where colonial violence was enacted and normalized - Njoki Wamai

Modern migration governance pretends to be about rights but it denies citizenship, enforces racialised borders, and reproduces global inequalities. Who moves, how, and where to, is shaped by the same powers that produce war, climate crises, and economic precarity - @tonihaastrup.bsky.social

“Developing the broadband infrastructure is equivalent to the construction of imperial railways in the nineteenth century in order to facilitate the colonization of Africa.”- Prof Sylvia Tamale, decolonization and Afro-feminism
Thank you. That’s a quote from Prof. Sylvia Tamale- Digitization has become the new “civilizing” mission and the latest framework for rationalizing the new mode of colonization…”
