MEMPROW’s programmes
MEMPROW’s establishment was premised on the awareness that patriarchal and oppressive societal dynamics create barriers to women’s full participation and enjoyment of their rights in all areas of life. The second reason for establishing MEMPROW was to bridge the credibility gap between older feminists and young women who usually perceive each as opposed rather than complementary in gender equality activism. MEMPROW is filling these gaps with through her strategic objectives;
