A decade of supporting women and communities

WoMin is proud to mark a decade of supporting women and communities resisting extractive developments, in collaboration with partners across the African continent with our publication, Women Build Power! Celebrating 10 Years of Pan African Ecofeminist Organising.

Our Initiatives

We advance our political analysis and support African women’s organising through the following core initiatives.

About WoMin

WoMin is a Pan African ecofeminist alliance that partners with women and communities impacted by large-scale mining and extractive industries. We shine a light on the harmful effects of extractivism on African peasant and working-class women, their land, and their livelihoods, and work to amplify their voices and movements.
