FEATURING RENOWNED LEGAL EXPERT AND FEMINIST LEADER
We are honoured to welcome Nonhlanhla Dlamini, Executive Director of Swaziland Action Group Against Abuse (SWAGAA), as our keynote speaker. SWAGAA was Crossroads International’s first partner organization in Eswatini and the first to implement girls’ empowerment programming at a national scale in the country.
With more than three decades of leadership advancing women’s rights, Ms. Dlamini has championed initiatives that protect girls, support survivors of abuse, and embed empowerment programming within national education systems. She also served as the first woman Member of Parliament and Chairperson of the Women’s Caucus in Eswatini.
