Enable Women Africa (EWA) is an emerging global not-for-profit organisation founded in Australia with a vision to end hair discrimination and restore cultural dignity for Black women and girls. EWA uses hair as a powerful symbol of identity to inspire change, celebrate heritage, and open pathways to opportunity, education, and empowerment.
There is a global crisis (please use statistics enclosed to visually explain this) of exclusion and bias that targets the natural hair of Black girls and women, often forcing them to conform, cover up, or be punished for wearing their hair as it naturally grows.
EWA works to dismantle this cultural and systemic discrimination by creating safe spaces, educational programs, and advocacy campaigns that protect and elevate identity and self-worth. Across Australia and Ghana, we are laying the groundwork for long-term impact through storytelling, cultural leadership, and youth programs that equip Black women and girls with the confidence and support they need to thrive without fear. We are not just freeing the hair, we are freeing the mind, dignity, and future.
