The We Rise Initiative is wholly focused on empowering women and girls
to rise above 21st century oppression and the stigmatisation of feminism.
We are working on utilising diverse forms of empowerment to benefit women and girls through education, general inspiration and the eradication of prevalent oppressive actions such as FGM and child marriage. This organisation aims not only to empower, but also to educate African women about their universal human rights, that many have unfortunately been denied in society today.
Through enhancing the socio-economic and political capability of women, we envision an Africa where women are no longer the most untapped resource but the most valuable resource.
The team at We Rise are dedicated to the following, prevalent systemic issues: increasing access to education and the quality of education for girl children, ensuring good jobs for young women that can provide sustainable economic growth in communities and working towards the equality of opportunity for women and girls socio-economically and politically.
