Conversations on African Philanthropy
In Conversation with Leila Hessni | Adɔyɛ Series #4
Leila Hessini is a transnational feminist leader with roots in Algeria and education spanning the US, Morocco, and other regions. Her career includes significant contributions to the feminist movements and reproductive rights at global conferences.
In her conversation with Prof. Moyo, Leila reflects on her experiences and lessons gained from working in African and global philanthropy. Some of their talking points include;
- The discussion highlights the dichotomy between progress made in women's rights and ongoing challenges, particularly in contexts of authoritarianism and conflict.
- The strides have been made in funding feminist initiatives, particularly since the Beijing conference in 1995.
- The role of women's funds in grant-making, providing both financial resources and capacity-building support to feminist organisations.
