Series 4: The Gathering Podcast
“Shifting Power Through Feminisms,” a podcast series born from the African Feminisms Gathering held in Johannesburg in September 2025. In these three episodes, we explore how African feminists are responding to a time of polycrisis, how wellbeing and healing shape sustainable movements, and how men can engage meaningfully as allies in feminist struggles. These episodes carry forward the spirit of the Gathering’s core themes — Rights, Representation, and Resources — while inviting listeners into the ongoing work of shifting power through feminisms.
