COVER

Feminist, LGBTQIA+, and other social justice movements gathered
in Nairobi, Kenya, for the annual “Pussy Power Festival”. The festival’s theme,
The Power of Feminist Actions and Resistance in Protecting Civic Spaces and
Building Sustainable Movements to Promote Good Governance, highlighted
the urgency of safeguarding gender justice movements amid increasing global
restrictions. Centered on feminist joy as a form of resilience, the event celebrated
activism and solidarity.

The festival took place during the global “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-
Based Violence” campaign. It was organized by Karibu grantee partner, the
Coalition for Grassroots Human Rights Defenders – Kenya (CGHD-K) – one of the
grantees of Karibu’s participatory grantmaking program with movements in
Africa.
