Girls Organizing, Feminist Funding, and the Work of Building Just Futures
The inaugural East African Girls and Young Feminist Fund conversation space in Nairobi brought girls and young feminists together for a timely exchange on organizing, feminist funding, and the work of building just futures. The conversation affirmed that young feminist leaders are already shaping change across East Africa, while also naming the urgent need for responsive funding, mentorship, stronger access to information, and ecosystems built on trust. More than a gathering, the space offered a clear reminder that feminist futures will be strengthened when institutions move beyond symbolic support and invest more deeply in the leadership that is already at work.
