Building African Women’s & Youth Movements and
Forming International Sisterhood
African Liberation Day and African Women’s and Youth
Conference Report
The African Women’s and Youth conference honoring African
Liberation Day held at the University of Cheikh Anta Diop in Dakar, Senegal on
May 27, 2007 was a tremendous success. The African Women’s Charity Organization
and the Pan African Youth Organization of Senegal organized the conference.
Flyers
and posters were distributed throughout Dakar and its different schools, its
suburbs and their schools, the countryside( Touba, Thies, Bagny, Rufisque and
Mbacke ) and its schools. The debate was waged at a high level
(politico-economic, social and moral ).Various sisters brought their contribution to the debate.
The call for building women collective savings, collective health care,
education and agriculture have been put forward by the
students.
The
African Women’s Charity Organization thanks the Pan-African Youth Organization
for co-sponsoring this event with the African Women’s Charity Organization. Our
next conference will be in Ghana on March 8, 2008. We would like to thank all
the people who are helping us build
African Women and Youth
Movements that are necessary to educate, mobilize, and organize the
largest number of African Women and Youth as possible. Our vision includes
collectively solving our problems to obtain proper childcare, housing,
collective kitchens, transportation, healthcare, clean drinking water for all
and employment/skills, etc. We must build a strong infrastructure in Africa and
we must be tightly organized outside of Africa. We call for people who want to
be an active part of the movement to contact us.
