Reclaiming Our Voice

Our Essence

We are a coalition of Pan-African feminists reclaiming the power of speech to dismantle stigma and ensure gender justice for all.

Neno Huru emerged from the urgent need to bridge the gap between harmful external labels and the authentic self-definitions of African women and gender minorities. Our journey began across Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda, uniting six organizations under the leadership of GenDAR to build a digital sanctuary where community-owned knowledge is finally validated and preserved for future generations.

Today, we facilitate regional convenings and community-led research to document the diverse histories of trans, intersex, and queer individuals. Our digital infrastructure serves as a living archive, ensuring narrative sovereignty and linguistic decolonization remain at the heart of the movement.

Our approach

Our Mission​
Our mission is to ensure that gender minority communities across East Africa reclaim their power through linguistic liberation and digital justice.

Whether through validating community-led research, providing safe digital infrastructure, or documenting indigenous histories, we work to ensure every liberated word serves as a tool for dignity and authentic self-definition.

Our Vision​
We envision a Pan-African landscape where narrative sovereignty is restored and transphobia, misogyny, and lesbophobia are dismantled.

Our team strives for a future where every queer, trans, and gender-diverse individual in Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda feels empowered to name their own reality, supported by a validated network of knowledge.
