Is feminism un-African?

By: Makalay Saidiatu Sonda

When I call myself a feminist, many people think it’s senseless because I’m a pan-Africanist too. In the eyes of many, pan-Africanism and feminism are two parallel lines that run in two opposite directions – they never meet.

Feminism is wrongly seen as a Western ideology. I always challenge this notion which I in fact call a myth. I think considering feminism as such is evidence of one’s shortsightedness.
