Reproductive Justice, the African Way | Feminism, Tradition & Women’s Care (Episode 9)

Описание: Reproductive justice did not arrive in Africa from elsewhere.
It returned.

In Episode Nine of Herbal Wombs, Modern Medicine, African feminism takes center stage as women reclaim reproductive justice through ancestral care, collective memory, and political action.

Set across community forums, healing circles, protests, and digital archives, this episode follows a new generation of African women who braid traditional maternal care with feminist frameworks—turning memory into movement.

This episode explores:

Reproductive justice through African feminist perspectives
How traditional birth care informs modern feminist organizing
The link between ancestral healing and maternal health activism
Why dignity, respect, and community are central to African reproductive justice

From Lagos halls to Abuja streets, from herbal circles to online archives, women refuse the separation of science, spirit, and politics. Songs once whispered in birthing rooms rise as protest chants. Ritual becomes resistance. Care becomes demand.

Drawing from African feminist history preserved in archives like the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF), Episode Nine reveals a documented truth:
African women have always framed reproductive health as sovereignty, community responsibility, and women’s authority over their bodies.

This episode insists that:

Justice is not only legal—it is cultural
Care without dignity is not care
Reproductive rights are rooted in lineage, not charity

The march did not replace the chant.
The microphone did not silence the river.
