Womankind celebrates #EverydayFeminism on International Women’s Day 

7 March 2024
By Womankind Worldwide

Womankind Worldwide adds a voice to this year’s International Women’s Day through the second iteration of the #EverydayFeminism campaign. 

Inspired by Laura Bates’ Everyday Sexism, we spotlight inspiring stories of five feminists from Kenya, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, South Africa and Nepal who are committed to making a difference in their communities and contributing to a gender equal world.  

The campaign demonstrates that acts of feminism, however small – especially at a time like this when we are witnessing a drawback on women’s rights around the world – can contribute to change. From calling out sexism, to being a pillar of hope and exuding feminist joy, daily acts of feminism are a blueprint for making gender equality a reality.

‘’We are thrilled to share these stories in this second iteration of the #EverydayFeminism campaign and celebrate inspiring feminists taking a bold stance around the world. Our feminist standpoint is explicitly political and non-negotiable and underpins our solidarity with all women, girls and people of all genders.’’ Dinah, Musindarwezo, Interim Co-CEO, Womankind Worldwide.

"Feminism isn't an event, it's a way of being. It's a way of thinking. It's an ethic. It's the way we are, it's the way we are towards each other and the way we are towards ourselves." - Liepollo Lebohang Pheko
