Reparations are not just about compensating for the past. The violence of colonialism did not end with independence. Gendered dispossession, reproductive coercion, and forced labour continue to shape the realities of African people today. 🎥 youtu.be/W4Obr_rYTH0?...

As Sylvia Tamale's argues, colonial regimes didn't just take land and labour, they imposed rigid, hierarchical definitions of woman & man onto African societies that hadn't organised gender that way before. That imposition is part of what #reparations has to address. 🔗 rewib.org/resources/to...

One of the report's clearest interventions is FFP as normative global praxis is incomplete without African perspectives. Not as an afterthought to add but as a structural gap in how the whole concept has been theorised. Read it here: 🔗 rewib.org/resources/af...

As Prof Toni Haastrup emphasises, reparations cannot be reduced to financial compensation or apologies. Rather, they must confront the structural systems produced by slavery. This includes redistributing power, addressing epistemic violence and prioritising community-led, processes of healing

The UN General Assembly has adopted Ghana’s resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade the gravest crime against humanity. Argentina, Israel, and USA voted against, while many Global North countries abstained. That is precisely where a decolonial Afro-feminist lens becomes non-negotiable.

‘Reparations is not a plea for inclusion, it is not a plea to be recognized, it is about asserting the sovereignty of African being and personhood in the world. Because that is really what is at the core of the crime that has been done to us.’ - Panashe Chigumadzi 🎥 youtu.be/W4Obr_rYTH0?...

Last week, we discussed women’s bodies and labour as sites of colonial violence, why reparations cannot be charity or symbolism, and how neoliberalism, extractivism and climate injustice continue colonial harm. Reparations must repair lives, not just history. Watch 📺 youtu.be/W4Obr_rYTH0?...

Historically, reparations proposals have often excluded gendered harms and overlooked issues seen as local or grassroots. Yet patterns in international relations, along with the exploitative dynamics of neoliberalism and racial capitalism, show that these injustices remain structural - Toni Haastrup

The climate crisis is rooted in plantation logics that displaced polycultures and indigenous stewardship with monocultures and extractive industrial systems. Its origins lie not in the 18th-century Industrial Revolution alone, but as far back as the 15th century in 1444 - Panashe Chigumadzi

The African Feminist Collective on Feminist-Informed Policies @afipcollective.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

As Africans, we understand that harm travels across generations, through those who came before us and those who come after us. And that's the basis of how we think about this from an African feminist basis of reparations - Panashe Chigumadzi

Reparations must allow African women and their communities to live with dignity and justice, not survival. A feminist approach to reparations means: Redistribution Recognition Restoration And an ethics of care that centers people, communities, and the environment. - Njoki Wamai

Colonial gendered violence was not incidental. Women’s bodies and labour were central sites of control, violence, and extraction across Africa. African women’s bodies were not only controlled under colonial rule, they were sites where colonial violence was enacted and normalized - Njoki Wamai

Feminist foreign policy cannot claim to advance justice while remaining silent on global hierarchies that sustain inequality. And too often, FFP is framed is through Eurocentric lenses that overlook the histories of extraction, intervention, and structural disparities that shape African realities.

You can’t separate migration from capitalism, racism, and patriarchy. If we want liberation, we need to tear them all down. Borders aren’t broken. They work exactly as designed, to exclude, to discipline, to profit. That’s why we fight for abolition, not reform - @tonihaastrup.bsky.social

We can’t fight borders without fighting surveillance. Ethnic & racial categories are weaponized to control movement & citizenship. Tech makes it faster, not fairer - @rosebellk.bsky.social

The Sahel isn’t just a site of coups, it’s a laboratory for imperial security regimes. EU, US & others arm militias, control movement & experiment with migration containment. Djibouti alone hosts US, China, France, Japan, Italy bases. These bases control our movement - @rosebellk.bsky.social

Queer refugees face double violence, as migrants & for their queerness. Kenya may ‘accept’ queer refugees, but offers no protection. Survival comes with a constant threat. Statelessness is about who’s made visible and who is forced into invisibility - Kedolwa Waziri

The African Feminist Collective on Feminist-Informed Policies @afipcollective.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

Statelessness isn’t a paperwork glitch. It’s daily erasure. It’s being denied ID, banking, healthcare, digital services. In Kenya, Nubians & other marginalised people can only access ID services on select days. Statelessness is structured exclusion - Kedolwa Waziri
