This month, our founder, Ms. Manduwi joined forces with Equality Now, UN Women, and the SOAWR Coalition to bring you an important episode of the SOAWR Podcast — a deep dive into All Things Maputo Protocol.
In this episode, Gicuku Karugu, Michelle Tuva, and our very own Nthanda Manduwi sit down for a powerful conversation that explores the heart of Africa’s most comprehensive legal instrument for women’s rights — the Maputo Protocol.
“I was surprised to learn that someone’s gender can be a deterrent to someone reaching their fullest potential.”
— Nthanda Manduwi
The discussion goes beyond legal jargon — unpacking how the Protocol addresses child marriage, gender-based violence, reproductive rights, and the realities of implementation across the continent. It also highlights the urgent need for full domestication and enforcement in all AU member states.
At Ntha Foundation, we continue to use platforms like this podcast to center informed voices, ask hard questions, and create space for honest, actionable dialogue around legal and social justice.
🎧 Listen to the episode now on your favorite podcast platform or via Spotify.
