Akina Dada wa Africa Akina Dada wa Africa (AkiDwA; Swahili for sisterhood) is an authoritative, minority ethnic-led national network
of African and migrant women living in Ireland. The non-governmental organisation with charitable status was established in August 2001 by a group of African
women to address the needs of an expanding population of African and migrant women resident in Ireland. The organisation is a recognised authoritative and
representative body for migrant women, irrespective of their national/ethnic background, tradition, religious beliefs, socio-economic or legal status.
AkiDwA’s advocacy approach is based on a gender perspective and the organisation promotes an equal society, free of racism, discrimination and
stereotyping. AkiDwA’s advocacy approach is based on strengthening migrant women’s voice, applying a gender perspective to policies and practices
and the promotion of equality of migrant women in Irish society, free of gender and racial stereotyping. |
