Wildaf: Women In Law And Development In Africa Wildaf, Takoradi, Ghana, West Africa

Women in Law and Development in Africa (WiLDAF) is a pan-African, non-governmental, non-profit organisation that brings together individuals and organisations to promote a culture for the exercise and respect for women’s rights in Africa through a variety of tools, including law.

The network was established at a regional conference held in February 1990 in Harare, Zimbabwe whose theme was “Women, Law and Development: Networking for Empowerment in Africa.

WiLDAF was the product of a year-long process of organisation and inquiry, involving NGOs and governmental projects devoted to empowering women and improving their status in Africa.
