Episode Synopsis
A pan-African feminist with roots in Cameroon, Françoise Moudouthe is deeply committed to supporting the thriving of African feminist movements. This dedication has steered her career for more than a decade. In the early stages of her career, Françoise helped The Elders with the establishment of Girls Not Brides, a global civil society partnership aimed at ending child marriage. She played a key role in expanding its presence in Africa, focusing on coalition-building and regional advocacy. She also founded Eyala, a bilingual platform that highlights the voices and experiences of African feminists, offering them spaces for learning and solidarity. In January 2021, Françoise took on the role of CEO at the African Women’s Development Fund, a feminist fund that provides resources, support, and advocacy for women's rights and feminist organizations and movements across Africa. Françoise has served on the boards of the Malala Fund, Womankind Worldwide, and WATHI Think Tank, and currently serves on the boards of the Equality Fund and Prospera.
