On March 7, 2025, we gathered for a moment that was both historic and deeply personal—the launch of the Virtual Museum of African Feminists. This museum is more than a digital archive; it is a testament to the resilience, brilliance, and activism of African feminists throughout history. At the heart of this moment was Penelope Sanyu, the Chief Steward of Femme Forte Uganda, whose powerful speech captured the spirit of the museum and the movement it represents. Her words reminded us why this space is necessary, why our stories matter, and why we must continue to fight for visibility, justice, and liberation.

What we do 


Mobilizing and equipping young women to become better leaders who change the story.

We empower women in Uganda for inclusive growth through providing skills training, mentoring, sisterhood support, spiritual and financial support.


Target Audience


Our primary audience is young women between 15-35 years of age. This notwithstanding, we will carry out specialized activities for those over 35 to grow mentors in them.


We run tailor made programs in the form of equip circles (learning circles) for three audiences;


15- 19 years

20- 25 years

26-35 years


Our young woman is one that aspires to lead, one with potential to lead with inadequate support to her aspirations.


How we established our Priorities


As sisters, we have been part of the women and feminist movements. We have grown here and have experienced firsthand the joys and short comings therein. Our Priorities are therefore established by;


•   Our experiences. The celebrations we wish to scale up as well as the challenges unattended to that we wish Femme Forte can fill        the gap on.

•  The needs of women from various walks of life. We reached out to women as young as 15 and as old as the heart can imagine and        asked what sort of female space they would be inspired to be part of. The responses we got together with our experiences formed        the foundations of what we will primarily work towards achieving.
