The Circle is preparing a pilgrimage back to Ghana, where it was founded

The Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians was founded in Ghana, West Africa in 1989 with the purpose of amplifying Pan-African and inter-religious theological perspectives of African women.

As a means of embodying Sankofa, our next conference in 2024 will be a pilgrimage back to Ghana.

In preparation for our return, we are engaged in several research projects that analyze and expand the work of the Circle theological matriarchs, that is, the founders and the earliest champions of the Circle.

The Circle has always included sisters both on the continent and in the Diaspora. In the Make Way programme, The Circle brings on board the religious angle. In the Make Way, the Intersectionalized See Judge Act (ISJA) tool is used to facilitate the identification and analysis of traditional and emerging Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) issues from a religious perspective.
