Advancing the Rights and Welfare of Girls in Africa through Research and Knowledge Generation

African Women's Research Initiative for Social Empowerment (African Women's R.I.S.E.) is dedicated to advancing equal rights and opportunities for girls in Africa. Our organization focuses on research, knowledge generation, and dissemination to help combat pressing issues such as girl child exploitation, child trafficking, and trafficking.

We strive to create lasting change and empower the next generation of women across the continent by informing policies and programs through research.
