ABOUT AWM
 
  • Systemic inequality between men and women persists globally, particularly in Africa. Women have less access to resources and opportunities, and they are under-represented in key decision-making roles, limiting their contributions and holding back societal progress. At the African Women's Movement (AWM), our mission is to change this reality.
  • We Exist To:  
  • Amalgamate women from various organisations, creating a space where they can come together, align their individual efforts, and work toward a common goal for maximum impact.
  • Empower women and youth from diverse backgrounds across Africa and the diaspora through a holistic approach rooted in the biopsychosocial and Continuous Lifelong Development (CLD™) model.
  • Equip women and youth from different socio-economic groups with the skills, resources, and support they need to Thrive—personally, socially, and economically.
  • How We Do This:
  • Through our Thrive Program, a gamified approach to personal and professional development. Members earn points and rewards as they reach milestones in key areas like financial literacy, mentorship, public speaking, active citizenship, and health. This incentive-based system makes growth measurable and rewarding.
