About the “Stop The Bleeding” Campaign:
The Stop The Bleeding Campaign (STB) is a Pan-African initiative aimed at mobilizing and advocating
around the African debt crisis and illicit financial flows (IFFs). The campaign seeks to influence
policymakers at both national and regional levels in favor of prudent debt management and equitable
investment in public services. It highlights how unsustainable debt and IFFs perpetuate economic injustice,
disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities.
African women, who constitute most of the informal economy, are the most affected by debt servicing as
it leads to cuts in public services, notably health, education, and social protection. Women bear the brunt
of these cuts, taking on more unpaid work. This reality underscores the need for the STB campaign not
only to focus on debt relief but also to advocate for public investments and gender-sensitive economic
policies that prioritize women’s rights and participation in decision-making processes.
The campaign is built on the conviction that a feminist perspective must be applied to debt relief and IFFs,
recognizing that economic injustices are deeply intertwined with gender inequalities. By addressing these
challenges, the campaign aims to protect the socio-economic rights of African citizens, particularly
women, youth, and vulnerable groups, and promote inclusive, citizen-led economic growth across Africa.
Objectives of the STB Campaign:
The main goal of the STB campaign is to build a movement that:
1- Advocates for debt relief: Mobilize support for the cancellation of unsustainable and unjust debts,
with a particular focus on how debt servicing exacerbates gender inequalities and inequity.
2- Fights against illicit financial flows (IFFs): Reduce financial outflows from Africa that
disproportionately harm citizens and advocate for policy reforms to close tax loopholes and end
financial secrecy, which worsens inequality.
3- Ensures feminist governance of public finances: Strengthen the relationship between African
citizens and their governments, ensuring that public debt and finance management is democratic,
transparent, and gender sensitive. Women must be included in decision-making processes to
guarantee equitable policies.
4- Engages in legal advocacy for women’s economic rights: Reform power imbalances in the global
financial architecture by pushing for legal reforms that protect women and vulnerable
communities from the harmful impacts of debt and IFFs. Promote fair arbitration mechanisms in
debt management, ensuring women’s representation in negotiations.
