Umunthu uses the arts to catalyse reflection and discussion, providing a platform to address issues of stigma and discrimination through the lens of “umunthu,” a pan-African philosophical concept of humanity
For us, the term “gender justice” best signifies our intersectional approach that centers on the diverse needs, experiences, and leadership of people most impacted by discrimination and oppression. This approach helps achieve both equity (equal distribution of resources, access, and opportunities) and equality (equal outcomes for all).
Youth leadership programme provides youth with training, mentorship and seed funding to develop innovative projects that creatively address pressing social issues. Engages communities for mindset change using the arts.
Our work on climate justice is built on the understanding that, “The impacts of climate change will not be borne equally or fairly, between rich and poor, women and men, and older and younger generations.” Climate change is not only an issue of environmental conservation, but also an issue of justice and human rights.
