In this special episode of Hall of Femme, Patience Poni Ayikoru and Anzoa Sarah join Femme Forte's Samantha Agasha to discuss what it means to exist online as women today. They share their experiences navigating digital violence, the pressures of visibility, and the resilience needed to stay present in spaces that often fail to protect them.

The trio also reflect on the lack of accountability from governments and tech companies, and why community-led care and digital safety practices are more crucial than ever.

This conversation is part of Femme Forte’s 16 Days of Activism 2025 campaign, under the global theme: “UNiTE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls.” It highlights the urgent need to make digital spaces safer, amplify women’s voices, and support community-driven solutions to online harm.

Sarah Mukasa and Jackline Kemigisa sit down to unpack Decolonization and Afro-Feminism by Prof. Sylvia Tamale, a radical text that challenges us to rethink knowledge, power, and liberation from African feminist perspectives.

Their dialogue centers on these critical questions that sit at the heart of decolonial feminist thought:

1. How do we divert the paternalistic, fetishized gaze of the Western reader from our beloved continent?
2. How do we build the critical consciousness needed to counter racist, patriarchal hegemonic power?
3. Who will connect the ideological dots of racism, colonization, capitalism, sexism, heterosexism in ways our children can understand?
4. Can we move beyond Eurocentric knowledge systems and navigate its modernities without losing our Africanness?

A necessary and deeply reflective conversation on reclaiming knowledge, power, and identity, grounded in the spirit of African feminist resistance and revolutionary hope.

In this powerful episode, Irũngũ Houghton, Executive Director of Amnesty International Kenya joins us to unpack what toxic masculinity looks like, and how it shapes the lives of boys and men. From power and relationships to mentorship and emotional honesty, Irũngũ speaks directly to young men navigating a world of narrow gender expectations. His message is clear: “Whatever we inherit in terms of culture, traits, and tradition is never as important and as powerful as the paths we chart ourselves.” This is an invitation to redefine manhood, resist harmful norms, and choose a more liberated way of being.
