Rosebell Kagumire

Rosebell Kagumire is a feminist writer, communication specialist and activist. She is the curator and editor of African Feminism, an online writing platform that brings together feminist writers and activists across Africa. She co-edited Challenging Patriarchy: The Role of Patriarchy in the Roll-Back of Democracy, which was released earlier this year and tries to broaden the notion of women’s political participation beyond, for example, seats in parliament. She’s mostly outspoken on social accountability, active citizenship, women’s rights, the rights of migrants, and social justice. Rosebell was honoured with the Anna Guèye 2018 award for her contribution to digital democracy, justice and equality on the African continent by Africtivistes, a network of African activists for democracy. In 2013, the World Economic Forum recognized Rosebell as one of the Young Global Leaders under 40. She holds a master’s degree in Media, Peace & Conflict Studies from the United Nations University of Peace in Costa Rica.
