It has been more than two decades since the delegates of the first international women's conference on African soil developed a document for forward-looking strategies to advance women's rights and gender equality on a global scale. In celebration of this achievement, Agenda, in partnership with African Woman and Child Feature Service, and Ford Foundation have created a project that looks at the events and social developments since the Nairobi conference 21 years ago.

NAIROBI +21 JOURNAL
This journal creates a space for discourse between generations. Feminists and activists of the 'older generation', the stalwarts of the women's rights movements, investigate the successes as well as the short-comings of the last two decades. Their reflections stand in dialogue with the second part of the journal, in which feminists and activists from the younger generation, women in their 20's and early 30's, discuss how the accomplishments of the women's movement of the 1980s and 1990s have influenced their lives and their activism today.

NAIROBI POETRY
The Nairobi +21 Project, opened a new space for poets from throughout Africa to publish their work on African women and the world they live in. The poems discuss women's rights and access to power; physical, emotional and psychological abuses; and the strength women themselves have shown toward achieving gender equality in their lives. After opening up the call for contributions, 41 poets submitted 91 poems of which 6 were published into the Nairobi +21 Journal.
