About the book
This year, FOWODE turned 27! We celebrate the
many achievements that we have made over the
years pioneering change, breaking new ground
and being part of enabling and driving change.
We are proud to be part of a history that paved the
way for women to have voice in the public arena
and having secured pioneering legislation for
the national budget to give due consideration to
women’s needs. Ours is a story of a carefully woven
tapestry of gender equality. As we celebrated our
birthday, we broke ground for the Imara Women’s
Centre at our home in Kasangati. The IWC is a truly
inspiring project that will enable FOWODE and the
women’s movement sustain efforts towards an equal
future in the context of dwindling donor resources,
a shrinking operating environment, and increasing
backlash.
