Leah Eryenyu is an African Feminist who believes that agitating for women’s humanity, agency and autonomy is a deeply political act that involves confronting head on, the patriarchal structures that center men and their desires as the axis of power and authority. She is presently the Research, Advocacy and Movement Building Manager at Akina Mama wa Afrika.
Her areas of interest include women’s economic rights with a focus on corporate accountability.
She also serves on the board of the Wits Institute, an ideas, debate and knowledge think-and-do tank.
Leah has a BA in Political Science from Williams College in the US
