About the Issue

African Women and girls face huge prejudice and discrimination that prevents them from improving their lives. Women and girls in Africa often find it difficult to come together, have their voices heard and increase their confidence. Comic Relief is supporting women to do just that. We are also supporting poor and disadvantaged women and girls in Africa to have greater access to education, health care and the opportunity for them to earn an income.
