WHO WE ARE

Hawa Feminist Coalition is a non-governmental and non-profit feminist organization founded by young feminists in 2018 in Somalia as the first and only young women and girls-led organization grounded in principles of feminism that come out to promote the safety, equality, justice, rights, and dignity of young women and girls in Somalia in order to achieve a country where women and girls are valued as equal beings among members of the community, enjoy all their rights on an equal footing with others, and live in dignity.

Hawa Feminist Coalition is a membership-based organization that believes in the collective power of young women and girls to work together toward achieving their rights. Every young woman and girl under the age of 35 can join this grassroots, young feminist-led movement and be part of a strong feminist movement working toward a just and sustainable future in Somalia. NO ONE CAN CHANGE HISTORY ALONE! WE NEED YOU, JOIN US NOW!

WHAT WE DO

Movement Building & Community Engagement

We mobilize, organize and connect young women and girls in feminist solidarity to build a strong and visible young feminist movement that can promote the safety, equality, justice, rights, and dignity of young women and girls in Somalia.

Leadership Development & Empowerment

We build young women’s leadership and advocacy capacity by equipping them with a variety of skills, including leadership, activism, artivism, digital activism, communication skills, poetry, and campaigning, among others, to improve their voice and lead grassroots campaigns to end patriarchal norms and gender inequality in Somalia.

 

Awareness Rising, Advocacy & Policy Influence

We engage in impactful awareness-raising, advocacy, and policy influence campaigns, utilizing influential and powerful tools such as art, poetry, music, sports, media, and community outreaches, among others, to challenge the prevalent gender-based violence, negative social norms, and harmful beliefs against women and girls. Additionally, we advocate for the adoption of legal instruments to protect women and girls in Somalia.
