Pan-African Women’s Day – WiLDAF Tanzania

Theme: Advancing Social and Economic Justice for African Women through Reparation

Today, on African Women’s Day, we raise our voices in solidarity with women across the continent—demanding reparative justice for centuries of violence, exploitation, and exclusion.

Social and economic justice for African women is not a favor—it is a right long denied. From unpaid care work and stolen land, to political marginalization and economic inequality, African women have carried the weight of unjust systems. Reparation is not only about the past; it is about transforming the present and reclaiming the future.

In Tanzania, we stand at a critical political crossroads. As debates over reforms and elections continue, we remind leaders: there can be no true democracy without gender justice. African women will not be silenced, sidelined, or sacrificed for political convenience.

We call on governments, regional bodies, and global partners to move beyond rhetoric. Reparation means land. It means funding. It means voice, power, and safety. It means naming and dismantling the systems that keep women poor, unheard, and unsafe.

As WiLDAF Tanzania, we remain firm in our struggle for laws, policies, and political spaces that center women—especially young women, rural women, and survivors of violence. Our liberation is not negotiable.

We demand justice. We demand reparation. We demand power.
