Our commitment

Kriola Manifesto

Being Kriola is having strength.

It is carrying stories in the body, in the voice and in the silence.

It is resisting, creating, caring, leading and dreaming.

Information is protection.

Visibility is power.

Culture is resistance.

Here, women are not a stereotype.

They are not a number.

They are not silence.

They are voice. They are identity. They are future.

Because empowering a Kriola woman

is strengthening an entire community.

Our voice. Our strength. Our Kriola.
