Fahamu has a vision of the world where people organise to emancipate themselves from all forms of oppression, recognise their social responsibilities, respect each other’s differences, and realise their full potential.
Grassroots training from Fahamu
Starting in February, Fahamu Kenya will run workshops for grassroots organisers drawn from Bunge la Mwananchi (People's Parliament). In a separate venture, in partnership with Urgent Action Fund and Legal Resources Foundation, they will provide training for 15 community radio presenters drawn from Nairobi's informal settlements.
Fahamu Books
Fahamu would like to announce the launch of its new Fahamu Books website at http://www.fahamubooks.org. Fahamu Books publishes a growing list of book titles on human rights, social justice, politics and advocacy in Africa, written by well-known African academics, public intellectuals and activists.
Pambazuka's reach, diversity and quality resources provide a real and unique medium for social justice and movement building in Africa. I received several correspondences from all over within 24 hours and over a hundred since, after my piece on the Ghana election was featured. It appears there are even more indirect readers compared to the direct Pambazuka subcribers. - Mawuli Dake, contributor to Pambazuka News
At the Heart of Resistance
Made up of footage gathered in Zimbabwe, At The Heart of Resistance captures the spirit of a unique campaigning group – Women of Zimbabwe Arise – whose clarion call is 'The power of love can conquer the love of power'.
New radio drama
Fahamu has helped to produce a 6 part radio drama, Crossroads, which aims to popularize the African Women's Rights Protocol.
