Building Connection, Culture, and Collective Power

Silence has kept uterine, hormonal, and gynecological health invisible. Women’s realities have been absent from budgets, policies, and public imagination.

How We Are Building Community Power

Community is where silence ends and learning begins.
When women gather, their stories become evidence and their shared knowledge becomes power. Through collective learning, storytelling, and creative collaboration, we are rebuilding womb literacy and turning lived experience into insight that shapes care, policy, and culture.

Womb & Table

Shared meals and learning spaces that connect women’s lived experiences to leaders, educators, and decision -makers.
Each gathering blends dialogue, reflection, and body literacy - creating trust, knowledge, and data that inform care and policy reform.

- Intergenerational dinners and workshops across Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and beyond
- Women with lived experience learn and teach alongside healthcare providers and policymakers
- Insights and learnings coded into the WOMB Index and advocacy briefs

Unmute the Womb

A storytelling and advocacy campaign that turns women’s realities into public health and policy conversations.
Unmute the Womb amplifies community learning - reframing silence as evidence and pain as data that drive reform.

- Secure platforms for women to share stories with dignity and consent
- Campaign content that educates communities and challenges stigma
- Partnerships with media, ministries, and schools to embed menstrual and uterine literacy

Creative collaborations

Partnerships with artists, filmmakers, and cultural leaders that transform how women’s health is seen, taught, and spoken about.
Through art and storytelling, we shift stigma, spark dialogue, and make uterine health visible in culture and classrooms.

- Co-created films, exhibitions, and performances that center women’s realities
- Collaborations with African artists and storytellers to reimagine health communication
- Creative outputs integrated into learning pathways and advocacy convenings

Building Knowledge from Evidence

Every story, screening, and dataset becomes a lesson - for women, health workers, and systems. Education is how evidence moves from insight to impact, turning what we learn in communities into knowledge that reshapes care, policy, and practice.

Learning Pathways for Women and Girls

Community workshops and school programs that teach menstrual and uterine literacy. Through body trust and shared learning, women and young people become advocates for their own health.

Training for Health Workers

Evidence from the registry informs training for community health workers and clinicians. They learn to identify conditions early, deliver dignified care, and use data to strengthen diagnosis and referral.

Knowledge for Leaders and Systems

Insights from community and clinical data become policy learning tools.
Briefings, learning labs, and exchanges help ministries and funders embed uterine health into national agendas.

Impact so far

3 Womb & Table dinners convened across Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

Creative projects launched with cultural partners.

Why Community Matters

Community transforms when voices become evidence and strategy. Women’s experiences are not side notes; they shape advocacy, financing, and system reform. When we center community in our work, we ensure that:

Cultural norms shift

Stigma around uterine health dissolves when women speak openly and are met with support, not silence.
Clinical practice adapts

Healthcare providers who hear women's stories directly become better diagnosticians and more empathetic caregivers.
Policy priorities change

When decision-makers sit with women at Womb & Table, uterine health moves from invisible to urgent in budget negotiations.
Financing follows

Donors and governments invest in what they understand matters—and community makes the case impossible to ignore.
Movements build

Individual courage inspires collective action. One woman's story gives 50 others permission to seek help.

We are transforming African women’s health, building what should have always existed, so that every woman can live, work, and thrive with dignity.

Choose your path forward. The movement is waiting.
