About Us

WLSA conducts action research in the seven countries of Southern Africa namely Botswana, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique, Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. The essence of action research is that we inform, advise and take action during the research. For instance when we formulated the project, the constitutional reform process was not yet in place but we integrated it into the project since it is key to the participation of women in politics and decision making. In essence, we educate women about their legal rights, providing legal advice, questioning and challenging the law.
