Collectives offer opportunities for like-minded individuals to unite over a common goal, approaching issues with a shared vision and democratic mindset. They can range in size from just a handful of people to thousands, and they have the ability to disrupt the status quo and be vessels for remarkable change. But what's it like to start one? Kim Chakanetsa speaks to two women who have founded female collectives making a difference. Aya Chebbi is a Tunisian diplomat and a pan-African and feminist activist. Named in Forbes Africa's 50 Most Powerful Women, she rose to global prominence as a political blogger during Tunisia's Revolution in 2010/2011. In November 2018 she became the first appointed African Union Envoy on Youth, and was the youngest senior official in the history of the African Union. In 2021, Aya established the Nala Feminist Collective, which brings together 17 acclaimed African feminists to unite behind Africa's agenda nationally and globally. Camila Montecinos Díaz is a Psychologist and therapist from Chile. She moved to the Netherlands four years ago where she co-founded Neighborhood Feminists, a collective based in Amsterdam which helps combat period poverty. They provide Dignity Kits with menstrual products and basic toiletries. Currently, they help over one hundred people each month and in total have distributed over 80,000 tampons.

Within the United Nations 193 states are represented. A significant amount of those countries are located within the African continent. The more it is interesting what African countries think about this international framework. We have invited Aya Chebbi, former African Union Youth Envoy who gives us insights into different approaches all over the African continent. We talk about youth initiatives, exchange and solidarity within and outside the African Union and brainstorm about the effective implementation of sustainable methods to give underrepresented people a voice. Content: - 80 % of discussions within the United Nations Security Council deal with Africa. Compared to this the influence African countries have is relatively small. More talk with each other than about each other should be implemented in near future - Young leadership should be supported. Currently, the age gap between the population and the leaders is significantly high within African countries - Future strategies and new instruments should be co-created with African people, especially the young generation - Possibilities and chances arise thanks to digitalization approaches - The world can learn a lot from Africa Links: · Nala Feminist Collective on Twitter: https://twitter.com/_Nalafem · Beijing+25, the Manifesto: https://nalafem.org/manifesto/
