Word Smash Poetry Movement is calling for poetry submissions from Women Poets across the SADC region for our Mwala ”the rock”, a campaign documenting the experiences of Women Human Rights Defenders with support from #IMATTER Campaign. These poems must speak to the conditions of Women Human Rights Defenders and their aspirations for today and tomorrow: exploring the challenges and success of Women Human Rights Defenders and also the underlying opportunities that are necessary for making Africa a place where all women know and enjoy their human rights.
This is not a paying opportunity.
