WHO WE ARE ?
Femmes Africa Solidarité (FAS) is a women's non-governmental organization (NGO) working to engender the peace process in Africa.
Since its inception in 1996, FAS has worked to foster, strengthen and promote the leading role of women in the prevention, management and resolution of conflicts on the African continent.
Executive Director's message
After ten years of experience in the field of gender, peace and security, Femmes Africa Solidarité (FAS) knows how crucial communication is.
As FAS' work demonstrates, conflict can destroy communities but dialogue can rebuild them and we must continue supporting and reinforcing the networking activities of women dedicated to peace building in their communities.
