On this African Women’s Day, FOSDA honours every woman who chooses dialogue over division, courage over fear, and leadership over silence.

Across Africa, women continue to shape peace, mediate conflicts, strengthen livelihoods, and build more resilient communities. Their leadership is not optional—it is essential to sustainable peace and development.

FOSDA remains committed to advancing the Women, Peace and Security Agenda by ensuring women are not only protected during conflict but are recognized as leaders, mediators, and architects of lasting peace.

Happy African Women’s Day! Together, let’s continue to invest in women’s leadership for peaceful communities and a more secure Africa.
