THE NEW AFRICA
MAGAZINE CELEBRATES 110
OUTSTANDING WOMEN IN
AFRICA FOR THE YEAR 2022
A
strong believer of the culture of
recognition for both men and
women who have, are and will
shape the vision and progress of the
African continent, The New Africa Magazine
has released its list of 110 Outstanding
Women in Africa for the year 2022.
The New Africa Magazine selected women
who demonstrated exceptional courage
and leadership in their mission to protect
the environment and defend Human Rights
and advocate to change the narratives
about the continent through politics, Arts
and Culture, development and economic
partnership, civil society and diplomacy.
In Africa, one needs extra hard work,
dedication and focus to succeed. In
addition to the so many factors affecting
women progress in the continent at the
political and socio-economic level; a great
number of women have been silenced with
violence, hate, discrimination, and isolation.
However, these Pan African women have
never been silent, and have led important
revolutions for democracy, freedom and
social justice. They have gone on to write
their names on the sands of time; breaking
old records and setting new standards,
smashing barriers and detecting the pace.
These are women who believe that gender
was not, is not, and can never be a barrier
to success. They have and are breaking the
silence about major controversial societal
questions, and have always been on the
frontlines in all crisis times along with their
male counterparts.
They are role models to the younger
generation of men and women and deserve
to be acknowledged and celebrated. The
New Africa Magazine is happy to tell their
stories because they can inspire our world
to rise to their courage.
The Amazon editions of The New African
Magazine identify these women icons and
prides of Africa, profile them and celebrate
their leadership, courage and the power
they hold. The 110 women featured on The
New Africa Magazine October edition of
the Amazon Women are women who will
inspire you by their stories and will motivate
you by their humility.
