JUSTICE FOR AFRICA
Since 2016, global wealth has grown by over $12 trillion. In the same time 10,000 African children have been forced into child labour every single week and almost 100 million children and young people in Africa are still being denied their right to education.
This is a crisis of rising global inequality and discrimination against Africa.
Justice for Africa: Don't Cut Our Future is an African youth- and student-led global campaign demanding an end to this injustice.
TAKE ACTION
Join the campaign today to be the first to hear of the Justice for Africa advocacy and mobilisation opportunities.
Justice for Africa is powered by the determination, creativity and collaboration of young people, students and survivor-advocates across the world. Since launching in early 2023, we have already held two major global mobilisations in over 30 countries on February 20th 2023, World Day of Social Justice, and 20th October 2023, ahead of Africa Human Rights Day.
We have also come together as 70+ youth- and student-led organisations to issue an urgent demand to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), one of the largest global financing institutions, to acts to deliver the right to education in Africa. read more about this ongoing advocacy and join us here.
LATEST ACTION OPPORTUNITY:
Ahead of this year's UN Summit of the Future, we organised a consultation for African youth and student leaders on what they want to see prioritised in the main outcome document of the summit, the Pact for the Future.
Read the results report of the Our Future, Our Voice consultation and amplify across social media to ensure the perspectives of African young people and students are heard at this important global summit.
GLOBAL MAP OF ACTION
So far young people, students, survivor-advocates and their representative organisations in over 40 countries across 5 continents have taken action to demand Justice for Africa.
CAMPAIGN LEADERS
Justice for Africa is organised by a global team of representatives from youth- and student-led organisations, the vast majority from Africa. Learn out more about the incredible Justice for Africa campaign leaders and their organisations below.
As co-conveners of the campaign, 100 Million and the All-Africa Students Union (AASU) work together closely to support all campaign leaders, providing ongoing coordination, training and resources to amplify their leadership nationally, regionally and globally. AASU represents over 100 million students and young people in all 54 African countries and is the largest youth-organisation on the continent. Their commitment to mobilising members across Africa to demand the right to education for all and join Justice for Africa is core to the campaign's success and growth.
