About

Our mission is to bring African women into political life and to empower us economically, socially and politically. To forward the interests of African people internationally through our programs aimed at the advancement of African women. To liberate African women and men from the customs and practices that serve to keep us subjugated.

  • Policy & Advocacy

    Through our core campaigns—#ArrestCPS, the War Council, and Women & Girls Against Colonialism—ANWO challenges state violence, family separation, and the lasting impacts of colonial capitalism. Each initiative is designed to empower African women and girls through political education, community organizing, and the development of protective and sustainable community structures. We welcome partnerships and support from individuals, funders, and organizations aligned with our mission to build safety, equity, and liberation for African women globally.

  • Healing & Wellness

    The African National Women’s Organization’s (ANWO) African Women’s Wellness Project is dedicated to centering the mental, physical, and emotional wellness of African women while fostering opportunities for political engagement, collective healing, and empowerment. Rooted in the understanding that colonialism and systemic oppression have deeply impacted African women’s health and self-determination, this initiative provides culturally grounded pathways for wellness and liberation.
