Women in Law and Development in Africa (WiLDAF)
Women in Law and Development in Africa (WiLDAF) is a pan-African network of organisations and individuals who work in the area of law and development to promote and strengthen strategies which link law and development to increase women's capacity to claim and enjoy all their human rights. WiLDAF's membership now comprises of over 600 organisations and individuals in 31 countries in Africa, with country networks in 26 countries: Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cote D'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. WiLDAF was set up in recognition of the importance of creating a critical mass to speak with one voice and to increase pressure for change which enables women to take their rightful place in society. WiLDAF has been involved in initiating programmes which bring women's rights and advocacy groups together at national, sub-regional and Pan-African levels in various forums.
