Women in the struggle

On this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, the professor turns the spotlight onto the unsung heroines of the continent’s liberation. Moving beyond the often male-dominated narratives of history, he explores the critical and multifaceted roles women played in the fight against colonialism and oppression. From leading armed resistances and organizing political movements to sustaining families and preserving culture under duress, Professor Lumumba honors the resilience, courage, and contribution of African women in the struggle for freedom and dignity.

Women in the struggle
Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
