AKINA MAMA WA AFRIKA
Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) is an international, Pan-African, non-governmental development organisation for African women with its Head Office in Kampala, Uganda. AMwA was established in 1985 as a small community-based organisation, which sought to create a space for African women to organise autonomously, network with each other, share skills and expertise, identify issues of concern and speak for themselves, which was essential considering their position as migrants and refugees in the UK.

ASSOCIATION DES JURISTES MALIENNES (AJM)
L’Association des Juristes Maliennes (AJM) est une association corporative, membre de l’Organisation Mondiale des Femmes Juristes.
