It's #EyalaReads time! Hope you're ready for your weekly recommendations of inspiring (and sometimes infuriating) pieces of writing about #Feminism, #WomensRights & #Africa. Definitely my favorite way of ending the week!

Combating the misuse of tradition to justify gender-based violence was my entry point into #feminist work. Reading this @dwnews piece on womxn who are called witches & persecuted for it reminded me of why this will always be a priority of mine.

Has Rama Salla Dieng's "Talking back" series really come to an end? I loved every interview. This last one with @YaraSallam, a #feminist from #Egypt, is shorter but packed with great insights (and some awesome reading recommendations). Read it!

Another great series closes with the last of @stillSHErises' reflections on the programmatic work she led at @awdf01. I enjoyed peeking at the behind-the-scenes thinking behind the visionary "Futures Africa" report (a feminist future trends analysis)

Did you read my recap of the #FlipTheScript campaign Eyala led with @Oxfam for #AfricanWomensDay? Great lessons from brilliant #Afrifem, and great inspiration for @EyalaBlog as it enters its third year (already!) with many changes ahead.

It's a wrap for today! Yes it was a short one - this girl is (trying to be) on vacation. Don't hate on me. Happy reading, and happy Sunday!
