With the launch of the Nala Council on July 1st, 2021, at the Generation Equality Forum in Paris, Nala Feminist Collective is embarking into the advocacy phase to support the implementation of the Action Coalitions commitments at national levels, as well as amplify and bring closer the youth of the continent to the 5-year journey provided by the commitments of the Action Coalitions.
