CREA’s Feminist Leadership, Movement Building, and Rights Institute Programme (East Africa)

The Institute engages feminists from across the region to build a substantive understanding of their present with all its challenges and possibilities. It interrogates concepts and structures that have a bearing on their strategies by embedding patriarchy and gender in concepts of nation, identity, religion, polity, and development.
