---

The first article in our series was written by Crystal Simeoni from the African Women’s
Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), convenors of the African Feminist
Macroeconomics Academy. The article provides a feminist reflection on current neoliberal macro
level economic policies in Africa and how they affect women’s lives. The writer argues that current
definitions of women’s economic empowerment are too narrow to offer impactful strategies. This
follows from increasing analyses that, in as much as Africa’s economies grow, so does inequality
between her people. Simeoni argues that current neoliberal macroeconomic frameworks will
continue to exacerbate the problem.
