Yesterday, Setaweet joined fellow friends, colleagues, and family at the National Museum of Ethiopia to honor and celebrate the life of Ambassador Kongit Sinegiorgis; a trailblazer whose courage, leadership, and commitment inspired generations of Ethiopian women and girls.

We are grateful to have stood in remembrance of a woman whose legacy will continue to shape the future we work toward every day.

Rest in power, Ambassador Kongit Sinegiorgis. 🕊️

ተገድዳ ወይስ “ተስማምታ”? - በጋምቤላ የ13 ዓመት ልጅ ላይ ለተፈጸመው ጥቃት የተሰጠው ፍርድ በጋምቤላ ክልል ቀጥሮ ሲያሠራት በነበረች የ13 ዓመት ልጅ ላይ “የግብረ ሥጋ ድፍረት በደል” የፈጸመ ግለሰብ የሦስት ዓመት ከ11 ወር እስር ተፈረደበት።

Ethiopia’s 2019 Civil Society Organizations (CSO) law was once seen as a major step toward opening civic space. Today, a new draft revision introduced by the Ministry of Justice raises serious concerns about a return to restrictive legal frameworks. In his latest blog, “The Return to Rule by Law,” Befekadu Hailu outlines the regression from reform to control, compares the current, past, and draft laws, and invites us to reflect on what’s at stake for civil society. Originally written in Amharic, this timely piece urges renewed attention to legal reforms. Read the full blog here: https://befeqe.blogspot.com/2025/07/rule-by-law-cso-en.html?m=1

Digital Feminism & Bold Conversations with Jordi Bezabeh

In this week’s episode, we sit down with Jordi Bezabeh a powerful digital gender activist, feminist, and gender advocate for a raw and insightful conversation alongside Dr. Sehin Teferra, Founder and Director of the Setaweet Movement.

We unpack what it means to be a feminist in today’s digital world, reflect on the impact of Jordi’s recent high-profile interviews, and explore the resistance and pushback that often comes with speaking out about gender justice in Ethiopia.

Jordi shares her personal journey into activism, the importance of using online platforms for advocacy, and the courage it takes to challenge social norms both on and offline.
