How do we ensure that women can live healthy, autonomous lives in their own bodies?
Akiiki Consulting works with organisations to refine a response: developing the analysis, expanding the funding infrastructure, reviewing and strengthen models for change, training activists and growing movements around the intersections of women’s rights, health, and freedom from violence.
Led by Jessica Horn, Akiiki Consulting brings regional expertise from Africa, and international knowledge and networks. All of the work is anchored in a passion for justice and fuelled by the power of imagination to envision a way through the crises of our times.
