Conversations on African Philanthropy
In Conversation with Hanifa Safia Adan
Hanifa is a journalist and human rights defender who champions marginalised communities and calls out systemic injustices. She was one of the protesters during the 2024 protests against the Finance Bill.
In conversation with Prof. Moyo, Hanifa reflects on the role that the Gen-Z Movement played in 2024 and continues to play today, even as a leaderless and organic structure. Talking points include...
- How the movement garnered remarkable solidarity, raising over 31 million Kenyan shillings within hours to support victims of police violence and their families.
- The importance of ‘Harambee’ in showcasing a community spirit
- How the movement has transformed ordinary citizens into activists
- How the Gen-Z Movement challenges governmental narratives and encourages civic engagement among youth and the broader population.
