The Women’s Leadership Centre (WLC) is a Namibian-based feminist organisation that envisions a society in which all women actively engage in shaping the politics, practices and values of both public and private spaces. The WLC facilitates the voice, visibility and leadership of Namibian women through participatory research, information sharing, education, creative expression, advocacy, and the publishing of critical feminist texts that we distribute within Namibian society.

Project: Empowing young lesbian women to claim their rights

The project aims to empower young lesbian women in Namibia by strengthening their feminist consciousness, human rights knowledge, creative expression, and leadership. It seeks to build a strong, visible movement rooted in collective healing, solidarity, and resistance. Through advocacy and awareness-raising, the project counters anti-rights narratives by reclaiming cultural and spiritual values that affirm dignity and equality. It also works to reduce isolation, challenge harmful beliefs, and foster community and family support for Lesbian women as equal citizens of Namibia.
