All Africa Women Poetry Festival 3.2 - 2025
This year’s theme reflects on the loss of people, culture, and identity highlighting the pain of losing loved ones, the erosion of traditions, and the silencing of native languages that has left many unable to speak their mother tongue.
It also expands the conversation to address the loss of biodiversity and environmental degradation, linking cultural preservation with climate justice.
