The Coalition of African Lesbians [CAL] invites all our members, partners and friends to submit contributions for a publication celebrating ten years of collective feminist resistance, resilience, revolution and power as lesbian and bisexual women and trans-diverse people across Africa through our association with CAL at various times and in different spaces of our movement.

Dear readers,

Pambazuka News receives important and interesting articles in Portuguese, which we publish in the Portuguese edition of the magazine. But we believe these articles should also reach our English-speaking readers, hence the need for translation.

We are urgently inviting volunteer translators to join our team.

If you enjoy reading Pambazuka News, this is your opportunity to support the magazine by volunteering as a Portuguese to English translator. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Please get in touch with the editors via mailto:[email protected]/email].
