Our Podcast
We are a movement-building organization that strives to connect various isolated cells of the feminist movement in Uganda.
Given that our work is centered on connecting and weaving one feminist voice, we've launched an audio-visual podcast called Hall of Femme, that will not only be a brave space for feminists to voice the things they would ordinarily shy away from but also provide an equipping and learning platform to build on feminist praxis by sharing stories, experiences, and learnings by and from feminists.
