What began as intimate discussions in a home soon grew into an international force for change. Committed to transforming the lives of African women and girls, and determined that no woman would be left behind, their activism spanned local communities, national policies, and global institutions.
In this heartfelt tribute, Efua’s son, Kobby Graham reflects on the profound impact of his mothers work, both within the home and on a global scale. He recalls the initial seeds of change, values of commitment, compassion and dignity. Through personal anecdotes and memories, Kobby shares how Efua’s dedication went on to inspire countless others to continue the fight to end FGM and violence against Black and minoritised women and girls. As he honours her legacy, he highlights the enduring influence of FORWARD, the organisation she helped build, ensuring that her vision and passion live on in the generations to come.
Get involved! FORWARD’s journey has been shaped by the imagination, creativity, and generosity of our incredible supporters. As we mark this milestone, we celebrate YOU—our supporters, advocates and changemakers!
